SR Denmark has moved serversNOW! Scientists and activists are blocking the main street at Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen to demand Denmark ban private jets! #dkpol #dkmedier #StayGrounded @ScientistRebellion
Our blockade continues - a 4-hour private jet flight emits as much as the average European does in a year. Ban Private Jets!
Listen to the words of Dr. Nikoline Borgermann's - a sustainability scientist who understand the urgency of the climate emergency. As wildfires and floods rage all across the world, we cannot afford the obscene emissions of the ultra-rich.
Even though this is a peaceful demonstration, we are met with massive police presence. The police proceed to detain and charge the activists and scientists. We would rather not be disturbing people's lives but we are in a global emergency, and the richest among us (with their massively high luxury emissions) are by far those most responsible for the catastrophic impacts of climate breakdown.
We do this because we cannot sit idle as the massive devastation of climate breakdown becomes an ever more present reality. Wildfires all across Europe and Canada. Floods in New York. Entire towns and cities destroyed in Lybia.
The ultra rich are adding fuel to the flames with their luxury emissions, and the Danish government still refuses to ban their massively polluting private jets.
We demand a BAN ON PRIVATE JETS. #StayGrounded
Bytebro 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@ScientistRebellionDK Mate, you can demand all you want - good rhetoric is fun. But while your/our governments are run by the people who profit from that stuff, nothing will ever change.
Bring back Mdm Guillotine., and go properly 1792. Then you might get a 'fresh start'.
(And yes, this post has almost inevitably got me onto a bunch of GCHQ watch-lists, right there/here. Hey ho.)
I think my point was stop whinging about it, unless you have a way to change it.
Bodhipaksa@bytebro @ScientistRebellionDK They are LITERALLY standing in front of private jets and risking arrest. You are the one who is merely whingeing.
mrFred489@ScientistRebellionDK How many four hour or more private jet flights fly to or from Denmark each day? It seems like almost any other policy would be worth more to the climate. You could even just move the protest to Copenhagen and say that you want fewer private cars inside the city, which would cause people to use public transport.

Does your proposed ban on private jets include air ambulances carrying transplant organs?
(I get the impulse to lash out at billionaire oligarchs, and the urgent need to cut fossil fuel emissions, but some nuance would be welcome …)

Dude. That has nothing at all to do with private jets. How about banning private jets and stuffing the concern trolling?

Rahul Setrakian@ScientistRebellionDK https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/bill-gates-private-jet-doesnt-make-him-hypocrite-because-he-invests-billions-into-climate-change/ or they can pay for it? 😂
Bill Gates says flying on a private jet doesn't make him "part of the problem" because he invests billions into fighting climate change
In a previous interview with "60 Minutes," Gates said, "I probably have one of the highest greenhouse gas footprints on the planet" and that his "personal flying alone is gigantic."
