There's nothing wrong with that. Airlines are NOT the biggest contributor per capita to GHG emissions in the UK. Household energy use personal transport (cars) and food miles are. It doesn't mean that airlines shouldn't be held accountable, but it does mean that we should all think about our everyday contribution that makes us climate sinners just like Branson.

Strange that he can be part of a consortium defending the airlines then!? Odd. Ah well...if he does what he promises in environmental investment then I'll be happy to speak up for him.

However, this shows his true colours. The airlines have repeatedly showed that only making money matters no matter what the long term cost. Never mind...we'll all be able to take a low cost trip to the antarctic to watch the last bit of ice melt while lincolnshire and London disappear under water. I used to like Branson.

Branson no doubt has his own private plane or two. When your back is against the wall all you can do is fight. There is no room for aviation growth in the carbon constrained world we are now all in. We should all be aiming to fly less. It's one of the biggest things each of us can do to reduce our personal carbon footprints. You can do a tonne of cool for free, right there.
