Edinburgh Airport

[britishblue]

An article in Sunday Times about the development of Edinburgh Airport. I was interested to read passenger numbers pre covid had a peak of 14'000'000 and 2023 was the first year to beat that at 14'700'000. The really interesting bit was after developments passenger numbers are going to be 20'000'000.
What an absolute sh*tshow the whole net zero crap is! Why can't the nfu stand up to this and say when their is any talk of Ag emissions being reduced. We will do something when we see you trying to reduce airport emissions! B*llocks!

International air and sea emissions are off balance sheet when it comes to Net Zero. They don’t count. That’s how absurd all of this is.

Official policy worldwide is for these industries to use offsets so that they can keep on growing.

Wonder what that will mean for Highland show.

Was talk a few years ago of expanding using it's current site.

Pretty sure it's site is secure now.

I believe they are trying to reduce emissions and be more efficient along with airlines and plane manufacturers.
Everyone should do their bit but we're not going back to living in caves.

Don't worry about it, electric planes are the next big thing to help save the planet, can't expect electric cars to do it all on their own..........

 

[Andrew1983]

Don’t forget they are cutting back on meat in the meals on flights to improve their carbon footprint

One way tickets to NZ would be a start…..

abstinence is not the solution to nett zero - people want to travel and why shouldn't they do so ? we don't want to go back to living in caves (and even if we did we would still not be nett zero)

We need to develop and focus on solutions not abstinence. Mankind is smart enough to keep progressing, and even if its not then AI will be

Look at the third runway at Heathrow; Johnson was going to die in a ditch in opposition and all that crap

I actually thought Boris Island off Kent had some merits the previous idea whereby those on through route stopovers didn't have to over heat West London

I can remember the M25 being built and still J15 (M4) to M3 J13 and to Watford J19 are the worst for congestion. Billions of tonnes of CO2 over the years - and for what? lack of strategic planning
- but it's the cow burps dontcha know

People can travel as much as they like as far as I'm concerned just as long as don't complain about my cows when they're sitting in the departure lounge.

most people don't care about your cows or give then so much as a thought until their milk is off or the meat is tough ! Stop listening to the BBC, they represent and blow out of all proportion the views of a utterly insignificant minority

Most people don't care. I don't care about climate change, I don't believe in it.

I know most people don't care just like most don't care about plane emissions either but the ones that do care are very vocal about it and we as farmers are going to be made scapegoats for this climate change stuff.

It's like Trans. Looking at the media you would think Trans and self id is the biggest issue of our age, it's a self perpetuating soup of rubbish.

And "diversity" is another one....

'Hate week' is what it seems like.
Hard to meet anyone more vile than a brainwashed climate change cultist when you question their doomsday narrative

Bristol,Airport claim to have a target of being carbon neutral despite increasing passenger numbers by 2 million while the road network used by those travelling from Wiltshire, Bath and Dorset by car has not been significantly upgraded since the days of the horse and cart.
The spin doctors the Canadian Teachers pension fund that own the airport employ must think the public are thick as mince if they swallow this nonsense..

A few people complaining about cows in an airport lounge is the same as a few farmers complaining about the airline industry on a forum.
Both are fairly clueless about the other, but they've spotted an easy target.

As Clive says we need solutions and new tech to reduce emissions and do things more efficiently, Ag should be involved with that as much as aviation.

Whether our leaders are going about that in the right way is another matter.

Jet2 claimed my flight was carbon neutral but dig a bit deeper and apart from giving me a wooden not a plastic spork I can't find out how....

I disagree agree a bit, admittedly I know nothing about the airline industry, but I do know that people could stop flying and still survive, not so sure about surviving without food, though many could survive with less.

Having said that if they want to pay me to look after trees so they can jet off to Benidorm on their holibobs I'm more than happy to oblige.
