A lot of cow burps destroying the planet this morning.

 

[Jackov Altraids]

In 1950 there were
10.6 million cattle in the UK
50,225,000 people in the UK
4 million licensed vehicles on the roads
In 2018 there were
9.9 million cattle in the UK (with an annual average population of 10.9 million since 1950)
66,460.000 people in the UK
38 million licensed vehicles on the roads
There were no records of commercial flights in the 1950s but ...
in 2004 there were 23 million commercial flights
in 2018 there were 38 million commercial flights
(this doesn't include private or freight flights)
I really would love to see the data that conclusively proves that cattle are the game changing contributor to global warming that the media would have us believe.

Interesting set of figures - I'll quote these whenever I can.

Do the commercial flight figures refer to world flights, though as opposed to the UK?

Thanks

Copied from Katie Slawson's facebook post.

As a Harper adams student, I would hope they were accurate figures!

Pretty sure that 38 million flights would be worldwide - 104,000 flights per day & with only 60 main airports would be ~1,700 per day... 72 per hour per airport....

Quite correct - I should have thought to do a quick analysis like that.

Thanks

I notice the jet trails, here, every morning too (flights in/out from Glasgow/Edinburgh and the infamous transatlantic route over Lockerbie). Trail numbers are building up again after Covid.

Just now in Hampshire, Tinkerbelle sitting on the lawn merrily destroying the planet with her farts while the eco saviours return whence they came. I expect these are the same planes Barleycorn can see but a bit further on their journeys.
There must some really good photo opportunities out there to get this message home, if we all keep our eyes open. I'm going to start carrying my camera.

It's always worth doing a quick sanity check on any numbers that look too good!

Download Flightradar 24 from app store like someone suggested it will blow your mind how many planes are flying around the world .! Hearing constant jets going over at altitude now !

I was just thinking, is there a possibility that there are more planes actually flying in the air at any one point than there are on the ground, I mean the large commercial passenger type airliner -Not the small 4 seater by plane.

 

[Bury the Trash]

its millions of rabbit farts that are causing a lot of methane ,yes unproductive, rabbits and wild ones ...
cause soil erosion as well .
No one says anything about them do they....

That's what the airlines would like to happen. Planes only make money when they are flying. When they are on the ground they are costing money.

Here are a few more taken just now in various directions. It looks like The Battle of Britain out there
