I have always taken the UK Governments and UK NGOs boasting about the Climate Change Act and the UK’s reduction of CO2 to be utter nonsense, just pure ‘greenwash’, to put it politely.
One of those frequent fliers, is David Attenborough, who made his money flying around the Globe, with a large film crew in tow! Others like Bill McKibben and Naomi Klein, who also make money writing about consumerism and climate change, whilst flying all over the Globe. It is time we called out these hypocrites, boycott their work and stopped idolising them as some god/goddess. As Kevin Anderson points out, “Emissions relate very closely to income and that is because we use a lot more energy, but also then, above a certain threshold, it means we consume lots more goods. That stuff uses lots of energy; the raw material, the manufacturing of it, and then to import it.” And it is an exponential relationship.
