Net Zero Flights. No Joke.
How lowering emissions will change aviation
If you need (any more) proof that climate change is a dangerous religion, consider this line from Airbus executive vice president of corporate affairs and sustainability, Julie Kitcher.
According to The Australian newspaper, she said …
“ … an aircraft’s green credentials were now almost as important to airlines as safety.”
Wait. What?
Do you want the good news or the bad news?
The bad news is that your entire family was killed in a plane crash earlier today.
The good news is that the crash was carbon neutral.
I don’t know about you, but I’d take a safe plane over an environmentally friendly plane every day of the week.
Kitcher was talking about how the cutting emissions in the fight against climate change would affect the airline industry.
She said electric aircraft were unlikely to be an option in a country like Australia because of the vast distances involved in travel and the fact that most chargers were already being used by Tesla drivers from Sydney’s north shore.
The good news was that Airbus were planning to have their first hydrogen-based aircraft up and flying by 2035. The bad news is that the Hindenburg utilised this environmentally friendly fuel in 1937, and that was when they believed safety was more important than reducing emissions.
Kitcher assured fliers that they would not notice any difference on green energy flights, other than the higher ticket price.
So other than the fact that you can’t afford to fly anymore, you’ll hardly notice any difference whatsoever.
Kitcher should do stand up comedy at this month’s Melbourne Comedy Festival.
But this is no laughing matter.
Our political leaders are insistent that we face a climate crisis. The future of the planet literally depends upon reducing aviation emissions. We must all make sacrifices if humanity is to survive the climate crisis.
Which is why Obama flew economy on a commercial jet for his recent Australian speaking tour, and why Albo sat up on the back on a Qantas flight to attend a Billy Bragg concert in Brisbane this week.
Nah, they didn’t really. I'm just rehearsing lines for my Melbourne Comedy Festival gig.
Obama took a private jet, and Prime Minister Albanese took the government jet.
When it comes to achieving net zero, always remember … the joke is on you.
True story, my German grandmother got out of doing her homework one night when an experimental hydrogen powered airship exploded and a piece of it flew through her bedroom window and hit her. It was a great show and tell.
I think I will pass on flying….
And before the hydrogen powered planes will be the minimising of pilots, the talk of just ONE in the cockpit. So who will be flying the plane if the one pilot has a fatal heart attack??
The climate catastrophists as is said, the new religion, are trying to outdo each each other with the most unhinged ideas for the plebs, but never for they the elites.
