    BBC’s Climate Panic – Ask A Stupid Question! 


    Will I ever be able to fly without feeling guilty again?” – BBC News

    That’s the headline, and UK Pravda’s story beneath it, while it does cover other opinions..

    . .

    May be an image of text that says '1972: UN environment protection boss" warns: "We have ten years to stop the catastrophe' U.N. Ecology Parley Opens Amid Gloom UN'S FIFTY YEARS OF 1982: Tolba, head UN Environment Programme Times: nations the world continue their current policies they year ECO-DOOM 1990 Mostafa Tolba, head ofUN an environmental catastrophe as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust' M WARNINGS Environment Programme: must fix climate change change before 1995: lose limate years ofthe issue "We shall win - or lose the climate struggle in the first years of the 1990s" "The ozone layer protection agreements years reach climate'

    (though no climate dissenter gets safe or even unsafe space to challenge the in-crowd’s latest bout of hysteria)..
    ======================

    …surely gives undue prominence to that odd question, and makes at least one big unquantifiable claim.

    Many more people are still boarding the planes, but wrestling with a growing sense of shame.

    ..

    ‘Shame?’

    We know the BBC doesn’t believe in the ‘fair and balanced’ principle that honest journalism involves, and spins its broadcasts shamelessly….

    Does the Beeblette, a chick named Lucy Hooker, seriously ask such klutzy questions…

    Will I ever be able to fly without feeling guilty again?” – BBC News

    ….of people she hangs out with?

    .

    What kind of company would one have to keep, in order to ask such a dimwit question and not be laughed out the room?

    They now feel that their desire for a holiday in the sun or a far-flung adventure is playing a small but undeniable part in the growing crisis of extreme weather events, rising sea levels and melting polar ice…

    https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57917193

    Oh for God’s sake.

    Who the Hell’s “They? “

    I hate flying, but not because of ‘shame. ‘

    It’s because I don’t like the idea of having so far to fall if the engine stalls.

    A boat will float…

    …a bus will pull over, but…

    I’m sure many of you know exactly what I mean.

    We do fly, nevertheless, because the destination is desirable.

    Maybe it is just a fun week in the sun, or, just as often, seeing people we care about.

    But fear not, quivering creeps!

    According to Ms. Hooker, her headlined ‘many’ can turn to a bunch of odd-balls called ‘Flight Free UK,’ who think guilty consciences may be salved…

    …if suitably ‘shamed’ folk lash out cash on ‘projects’ of the type that might gladden the heart of that mentally stricken creature beloved by the BBC….

       ..

      =

    …the Addled Swede Brat.

    =========

     Happily, even a ‘Friends of the Earth’ spokesman dismisses the Flight Free UK fanatics’ ‘Off-Setting,’ aka begging-bowl, as ‘the biggest con on earth!

    I doubt if any of my blog-followers will suffer a nano-second of ‘shame’ when finally the Chinese Virus…

    =

    =

    …is curbed sufficiently to let them fly again.

    But please alert hapless acquaintances who might be susceptible to ‘Off-Setting.’

    What may not be ‘the biggest con on earth’ is still a piece  of pinko-panicker nonsense.

    Fly Off, Killjoys! Carbon Cranks Grizzle And Whine! 


    I was looking at the Australian channel yesterday, not always a fun experience…

    W.

    .

    …but was amused at a report of a new craze, flying to nowhere!

    .

    I don’t like flying but many do.

    .

    As far as I can make out, some airlines, desperate to earn a few bob/bucks, are offering to load up aircraft with people who love air travel, then zoom into the sky, swan about up there for a while, then bring them back!

    https://www.newsweek.com/missing-flying-flights-nowhere-take-off-new-travel-trend-1536431

    I do not enjoy flying.

    I do it, but only because there’s no alternative to reach Australia, or anywhere these days.

    But if some folks have the money and the time, who am I to criticise them –

    .

    .

     – to each his own!

    Just as I like meals similar to those in the above photo, whereas muesli-munching stuck-ups don’t.

    Muesli-munching stuck-up

    ….

    My characteristic tolerance is not everywhere replicated.

    Almost inevitably, killjoys have reared their ugly heads.

    ..

    And equally inevitably, the grouchy pinko Guardian has given them a platform…

    ’Climate Campaigners Condemn Joy Flights For Travellers Who Miss Flying!’

    …to whine and grizzle about ‘carbon emissions,’ of which the fun-fliers are naturally guilty.

    I dislike killjoys…

    Pinko Killjoys Target Hallowe’en

    All Set For Unlawful Sexual Intercourse On Thursday?

    C’mon, Brits, Vote – Thumbs Down To Pinko Kill-Joys! 

    Jennie BlackPink – Just Another Outbreak Of Aurat Outrage! 

    .Stuff Uptight Killjoys! Vote For ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside!’ 

    Alas For Australia, Lucky Country No More! 

    Asian Uptights Bleat Against Beauty! 

    ….and have often railed at them.

    Now here’s another one, 

    Anna Hughes, director of sister campaign Flight Free UK, said “I understand why they are doing it – but it really is insanity – a flight to nowhere is simply emissions for the sake of it. If that’s the society we’ve built, where we’re that addicted to flying, then we have a serious problem.” https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2020/sep/18/climate-campaigners-condemn-joy-flights-for-travellers-who-miss-flying

    No, honey-chile, it’s you that has a serious problem, just as those examples above in various countries around the world have a serious problem with golliwogs, songs, Hallowe’en, Valentines, bikinis, alcohol…

    One Daily Bacon Rasher = Cancer Risk? 

    …oh, and bacon!

    …which, like flying to aerophiles, are a source of pleasure to many.

    Nobody’s going to force Agitated Anna to board a plane.

     In the year prior to the Chinese Virus, despite my aerophobia, I flew to Bali, Labuan Bajo, Banyuwangi, Sydney and Indochina.

    No Regrets!

    For fun!

    What does Agitated Anna do for fun?

    Count carbon emissions?
