God, yeah, I remember that. it all links back to Bertie doesn't it?Sure it wasn't that long ago Jeremy Irons et al just barely kept the government from selling off Coillte forests. Policy on this matter is an absolute disgrace.
Ireland, just forests grown to cut down and sell the wood
I am going to ask what might be a stupid question ...
This "you should stop flying" thing. I am a big enough dude, 107 kg but an airbus A320 is about 83,000kg. When someone says "you should stop flying" is it because of the additional fuel required to get my 107kg off the ground, through the air and back down (plus coming back) is a bad amount of fuel to be burned, even though it's a fractional amount of the fuel required to get the 83,000kg thing I'm sitting in to do the trip, or are they actually saying "you, and loads of other people should stop flying because then fewer flights requiring the fuel to make an 83,000kg machine go up in the air, stay there for a few hours and then come back down again would happen?"
I don't buy the "you should stop flying" argument, the military should stop flying - yes, private jets for millionaires and billionaires should not exist, yes, but the rest...
Maybe there's an argument to tax them more but I'd say the net good from seeing that the rest of the world exists outweighs the rest.
I've never heard a word about the idea of an electric plane.
Doesn't the elevation of planes make them so much worse? I'm not sure of the exact science but I guess none of the emissions get absorbed by trees or the thicker atmosphere down on the ground.
