Wait, you mean that people, including those yammering about climate doom from the use of fossil fuels, aren’t giving up flying? Huh
Lufthansa CEO sees no ‘Greta Effect’ on passenger numbers
German airline Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) expects passenger numbers to rise about 4% this year, its chief executive told a newspaper, playing down talk that public support for teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg might be curbing air travel.
“At this time we don’t see restraint – in fact, the opposite,†Carsten Spohr told the NZZ am Sonntag newspaper in the interview published on Sunday.
“In comparison to last year, already a record year, we’re expecting passenger growth of about 4 percent, (Lufthansa unit) Swiss International Air Lines is also showing growth. The discussion of climate change is not leading to restraint with bookings. People want to fly.â€
Media reports have suggested a “Greta effect†might curb demand for air travel, referring to the 16-year-old who has gained global attention for her efforts to convince people to reduce carbon-emitting activities.
How would Warmists get to all their conferences without fossil fueled flights, as well as quick hops to other countries for vacations?
On Saturday, a group of about 80 protesters staged a “Flight Strike†at Zurich Airport near the facilities of Swiss International Air Lines, singing songs, handing out leaflets, and encouraging people to pledge not to fly in 2020.
And were all roundly ignored by sane people. They should give this a shot in Santiago, Chile, where the United Nations will hold their Conference on the Parties Hotcoldwetdry meeting in December. Protest all those coming in on fossil fueled flights (which will be the vast majority).
At the end of the day, most do not not care about Doing Something about the climate change scam in practice.
