To Christian Grauss and Marc Clifton re air flights [modified]

I think it is more the fact that it is being brought again and again that annoys, more than the topic itself. Try with world hunger, after the 50th post, everyone will be tired of it, although we all know it is a problem. Or maybe it is even more specific, it is the topic + the fact that _you_ are posting about it.
Don't worry the show will be over in say 50-100 years, it seems everyone is taking the osterich approach when confronting the worlds *real* problems. To come :) Overpopulation Fuel shortages Water shortages Famine

You meant drinkable water shortages, I suppose. Done, at least in half of the world.

'pot..kettle' is used to tell someone they are being hypocritical. Where have I been hypocritical?
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
What I meant was ..... You wrote: "Its funny how much the few hate this topic. They cannt ignore it" ..... but you can't ignore it either ..... Or put another way: The pot is calling the kettle black == you saying people can't ignore it, but you can't ignore it either .... that's all :)

Well, thats more a comment you should direct at my detractors since clearly THEY cant ignore it thought they feign disinterest in it. Of course I chose to 'not ignore' it since its a topic that I find relatively interesting. How that is hypocrisy I dont know.

Christian, when you state "then catching a plane that was going to fly anyhow, in order to meet to discuss ways to control it, would make perfect sense." you obviously arent aware that planes use more fuel when more heavilly loaded. It's to do with angle of attack. And as for your question about offsetting, are you serious? Are you really happy that your tax money is being spent this way? Its your country after all. Marc "As the 64 flights, the article says 93 people. So, the per person cost of about 6000 seats comes out to about $160. First class? That's a heck of a lot cheaper than what I pay for coach on most Southwest flights. Seems like a good expenditure, frankly. If people would only do the math, it would be pretty easy to see through the BS media hype." It doesnt state that all 93 staff went to all 64 seminars (not flights by the way) so your sums are invalid. The srticel does clearly state "The trips cost taxpayers more than $2.74 million in airfares and $1.6 million for accommodation and meals. The Government's special envoy on climate change, Howard Bamsey, was the biggest spender, racking up $229,000 in travel costs during 2009-10."
