You're the last to be getting on the moral high horse about plane travel.
If you had understood what you read you would have noticed that I'm criticizing travel by private jet----which all studies show produces absolutely huge amounts of CO2.
But since what you're really doing is making yet another in your endless series of ad hom attacks on other posters, let me ask you a question.
Why do you yourself show no reluctance to get on the moral high horse about plane travel all the time? Perhaps you think your plane travel is perfectly OK and its only other people's travel that is bad.......???
----------------------------
A sensible way to think about this is to start by admitting that your own plane travel, like just about everything else people in western countries do, emits too much CO2.
Your plane travel....my plane travel....everyone's plane travel emits too much CO2.
But so does everything else.
Do you heat your house? You emit too much CO2.
Do you eat food? Growing that food and trucking it to your grocery store emits too much CO2.
Do you wear clothes? I assume based on the nasty tone of most your posts, that you shop at Kmart and WalMart and that you buy and wear only black plastic and viny clothes*, made directly from fossil fuels. But thats just a "for-example"....in actuality it doesn't matter what kind of clothes you buy when you're shopping at WalMart and Kmart....no matter what that bottom line is that once again you are emitting too much CO2 just to satisfy your foolish vanity.
Yo ennui/mos/oddbrd......you may think those little plastic and vinyl outfits you buy at WalMart look so cool but actually they are ugly as sin AND they emit way too much CO2. hahahaha---just kidding----------------------
If you were capable of understanding what you read, then you might have noticed I was criticizing travel by private jet. And the reason for that is that private jet travel, like John Kerry and Joe Biden do, emits way way
way wayway way way way too much CO2.
And there is a simple alternative that they could do. Just get on a regular commercial jet.
Don't you agree it would be much better if John Kerry would just get on a commercial jet like a normal person to do his travel? There is no need for him to have a private jet just to transport his lonesome little self around the world to eco conferences. He'd be perfectly OK on a regular commercial flight just the like regular people are.
You wouldn't complain if John Kerry sat next to you on a commercial flight, would you? Do you really think he should continue to fly his stupid private jet everywhere when he could reduce his carbon footprint greatly just by sitting next to a regular person like you on a regular commercial flight?
Do you get it now?
CHEERS!
*actually your clothes don't have to be made of vinyl or plastic to be a problem (but I think on you plastic and vinyl clothes would look very appropriate----IMHO plastic and vinyl is very you).
The point here is if you do the math you'll find that manufacturing
all new clothes emits too much CO2----just like everything else.
