Air New Zealand Scraps Promises to Cut Carbon Emissions by 2030
Breitbart ^ | 07/30/2024 | Simon Kent

Too hard and too costly. That sums up the reason Air New Zealand has abandoned a goal to cut its carbon emissions by 2030, blaming a range of difficulties Tuesday for the decision.

Delivery delays of fuel-efficient aircraft and the affordability of alternative jet fuels were the two key factors in the surprise move.

The move makes it the first major carrier to back away from such a climate target, the BBC reports.

The airline added it is working on a new short-term target and it remains committed to an industry-wide goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 as soon as it can work out a way to fulfill that undertaking.

Well, Al Gore and Leonardo Di Caprio could still cut back on their jetting around the world.

One can safely discern true scientists and engineers by watching which of them actually show that they can use math and physics to get answers that work. None of the above appear to be involved with climate “research”. Thankfully, there are some competent ones in NZ.

If New Zealand disappeared tomorrow it would not affect the global temperatures one one hundredth of a degree so the idea cutting the carbon emissions from their airlines would would any difference whatsoever is preposterous

They could just double their prices, as that will result in at least a 50% drop in CO2 emissions.

Poor reasons to stop. The whole concept is flawed.

Net zero emissions. a bald faced lie right out of the gate, but Air NZ is still buying the lie.

Carbon and CO2 are not now and never were the pollutants that the Godless quadrant wants YOU to believe.

So too the so called sustainable aviation fuel scam that is all part and parcel of the Godless “science” that climate change has proven to be.

Need I address the money driven CO2 sequestration boondoggle?

Shiny objects everywhere to take your money and render you soulless, homeless, godless and loving every minute of it.

Exactly.

The “climate change” stupidity is pre-ape level.

Tree stumps are smarter than these kooky “climate” clowns.
