Just when you think you can't hate these people any more...

Does it matter Greta? Can't see anything wrong with that.

 

[Mr Banana]

Pleasantly surprised they covered it, then the way it's written makes it even better. Needs to keep being called out until people at least stop making/normalising internal flights

Adele was singing her new sounds, whilst working as a trolley Dolly on Manure airlines

If you don't see anything wrong then you are definitely part of the problem.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Can someone please explain why they're outraged by this?

[MENTION=23289]father_and_son[/MENTION] So you and Tom are going on holiday by ship next time and don't drive cars?

Don't drive and prob won't be getting on a plane for a 100 mile journey within the UK anytime soon to be honest

Likewise. Never owned a car. Always travel by train when I do have to travel within UK.

Errr .... because 100 miles could easily be covered by coach which would have a far far smaller carbon footprint than a plane - unless of course you fly on one of the planes [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] uses which are allegedly carbon neutral ,,,, which isn't really the case.

Ok it is daft to fly 100 miles, not like they do it every time. I heard they done this because they heard there was heavy traffic on the M6. So they should have travelled to Leicester yesterday.

But Tom obviously posted this because he is a hater of United. Because he said.. "just when you think you can't hate these people any more".

So is it a green thread or a hate United thread?

Arrogant club, always disliked by many in the football world.

And now anyone who cares about the planet we're on too.

Do you own a mobile phone if so you're part of a bigger problem. I'm sure i read somewhere that mobile phones have overtaken aviation flight in what emissions they give off.

And aviation accounts for just 3.5% of global emissions.

By all means debate the need for climate change but just starting a thread to "hate United even more" is pretty pathetic.

...on Facebook I'll guess. That home of dubious facts.
Sending text messages and making calls uses electricity (for all the servers that message passes through and generating the light for fibre optic cables, etc etc). However, the usage is tiny and attributing to a single call is more than a little dodgy because the server farm was up and running and using electricity regardless of the incremental requirements of a single call.
Yes, our dependency on technology has costs. However, making sensible choices is part of what we should all do. Staying informed and connected is, for some, a sensible choice. Taking a 100 mile flight in a private jet with an organisation that makes a big deal of its supposed green credentials is just hypocrisy and thoughtlessness.
Travelling my train, coach or a convoy of cars would all have an environmental impact, but all more sensible choices.

Can't it be both?

No i do not have facebook and all the other social media shite. I read this on a climate change forum last year and I'm sure it was covered in the media as well.

I don't care if they walked,flew or each got a taxi their they lost that's good enough for me.
