‘Used like taxis’ - soaring use of private jets is driving lethal climate change. #BanPrivateJets

Private flights, used by just 0.003% of the world’s population, are the most polluting form of transport. Since 2019, emissions from private jets have grown by 50%. 1/3 theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…



Too right there's anger!

Emissions from flying warm the atmosphere and make extreme weather events more common and more severe. The aviation industry needs to wake up to this fact. #FlyLess #Barcelona #Floods Flooding hits Barcelona as alert issued for torrential rain - BBC News bbc.com/news/videos/c9…


One step in the right direction

Good news that the Chancellor today decided to increase APD for private jets - according to some analysis this could raise up to £700m+ in coming years for the treasury #aviation #AutumnBudget @NEF @CBTransport

❗️TOMORROW: MPs will debate climate finance in UK parliament. After years of profiting from burning coal, oil and gas, the UK owes poorer countries in the Global South money to tackle the climate crisis & protect their citizens. 📝Tell your MP to attend actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-y…

Gaza is experiencing a severe, ongoing humanitarian crisis. Banning the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the largest provider of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian population, is an act of genocide. Rather than wringing their hands over this criminal…

Israel has voted to ban Unrwa, the UN's relief agency, from the country, effectively blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza. How much more evidence is needed before the UK Government, and others, act on this genocide?

This is what determined local campaigns and good legal advisers can achieve

Sustainable aviation fuels are a nice idea... But won't be as effective as staying grounded!

There are several issues with “sustainable” aviation fuels - one is whether they deliver the emissions saving they promise, another is whether we can scale their production fast enough - case in point is this startup coming out of @UniofOxford 1/2 thetimes.com/uk/environment…
