A new poll shows that a shocking number of French citizens support banning people from flying more than four times in their lives due to climate change.

A poll from research firm Consumer Science and Analytics Institute (CSA) found that 41% of citizens would support such a limit. That number rose to 59% support among 18-24-year-olds. The suggested limit, proposed by engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici, would apply to air travel for business and pleasure.

The poll surveyed 1,010 French residents over the age of 18. It found that support for air travel restrictions was far higher among younger age groups. While a majority opposed the four-flight lifetime maximum, 64% of the respondents said they would be willing to limit their air travel in the near or medium term to combat climate change.

Climate activists across the globe have pushed for wide-ranging restrictions aimed at reducing carbon emissions, from limiting car travel to banning plastic straws.

As a frequent business and recreational traveler, nearly million miler with Delta Airlines, I just laugh at the absurdity of this mindset. But it's the French, so maybe they are insular enough to sit at home, probably more worried about no-go zones in their cities than anything else.

I wonder where Kerry and Prophet Gore stand on this?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Well, if it is true, as Hemingway says, that “the Earth moves” no more than twice, why shouldn’t four be the limit for flights? /S

[rktman]

In agreement. Except when it’s imperative for them to jet somwhere. But, I’m all in on not flying any more so can I sell my four allowables?

[bert]

The people in question don’t travel anyway

[Delta 21]

Europeans are stupid. The reasons were valid we left that continent.

[butlerweave]

Will Europeans be Extinct in our lifetime ?

[SaveFerris]

Yet more proof that Global Warming idiots are, well.......idiots.

But it's the French, so maybe they are insular enough to sit at home, probably more worried about no-go zones in their cities than anything else comfortable with surrendering.

These are the French people that went on vacation and left their elderly parents home to roast in the energy black-outs a few years ago. Didn’t bother to interrupt their beach holidays and check on them as the old folks died by the hundreds. Pardon me for not caring what they think.

[Carl Vehse]

Tell me again why the U.S. bothered twice to save Europe from its own destruction?!?

[mewzilla]

Consider the source.

And that the EU benefits as much out of pitting their citizens agaibs5 one another as much as ours does.

IOW, if citizens really want this ****, why does the EU use the same kind of electronic voting machines we do...

[mewzilla]

Tell me again why people believe everything they read.

[glorgau]

Gotta keep the peasants at home and on the grist mill.

No limits for their betters of course.

[bert]

To those who dwell under rocks, a history lesson is meaningless

[AppyPappy]

Except for the rich elites like Soros

[mo]

“Europeans” =bankers....terrified of losing control over their sheep

[laxcoach]

There would be a revolution if the French stopped tourists from entering their country - if the tourist flew more than four times in their life.

[KC Burke]

So this means that I travel throughout the country in my Suburban, right?

[thinden]

so how many flights do you get in a “Kerry life”

[dinodino]

The evil bastards at WEF, etc., who are pushing this crap need to all be tossed into woodchippers.
