@EU_Commission I'm glad he checks the list twice. Data must be kept up to date and relevant.

@rbreich that's interesting but A. Why is it a problem, and B. Assuming it is a problem, what do we do about it?

If the rest of the world were comfortable (I'm aware that they're not!) then would this really be an issue?

My answer to B (because I do personally agree it's a problem) is a worldwide tax regime but sadly that's incredibly unlikely to happen whilst people keep voting in their own and their own country's interests.

@elonjet so just on private flights Elon has emitted 200x the UK average per capita CO2 emissions.
Elon traveled the world in 2022, foreign trips this year include:
Brazil 🇧🇷
France 🇫🇷
Italy 🇮🇹
Greece 🇬🇷
Norway 🇳🇴
Germany 🇩🇪
United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Qatar 🇶🇦
See how much CO2 this added up to here: https://elonjet.net/wrapped22

Short rant.

Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.

Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.

It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.

Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.

Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.

Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.

End Rant.

886 mile (770 NM) flight from SMF to BJC

~ 868 gallons (3,287 liters).
~ 5,820 lbs (2,640 kg) of jet fuel used.

~ 9 tons of CO2 emissions.```
@martinvermeer @jeffjarvis @dnluce agreed 🙂 (although I'm not American)
@martinvermeer @jeffjarvis @dnluce I'm fine with that, but I'd argue the same for being a Christian. There no known way to undo a belief system. Also there is a known way to not take part in homosexuality by choosing to be celibate. I'm not claiming that people should choose that - just that they *can*.
@martinvermeer @jeffjarvis @dnluce I'm afraid you're oversimplifying in the opposite direction. Homosexually is neither a foregone conclusion nor a free will choice. Like most things it life it is more complicated and trying to make it black and white will fail and make everyone less likely to even try and understand each other. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/science/there-is-no-gay-gene-there-is-no-straight-gene-sexuality-is-just-complex-study-confirms
@Houl seems unfair not to credit Julie Milne who took the photo or the Mammal Society who gave it second prize in their photo competition in 2013.
