Simon Brooke<p>Rachel Reeves is apparently supporting a third runway at Heathrow. By 2050, we're committed to be 'net zero', which, given that the majority of the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/CarbonTrading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonTrading</span></a> schemes have been proven to be fraudulent scams, effectively means absolute zero. So aircraft will be able to use only electric power (very short range) or biofuels (using arable land needed for human food).</p><p>So, explain to me, how is this not a perfect white elephant?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateEmergency</span></a></p>

Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>According to a draft document seen by the FT, looks like the United Nations is going to come out against the use of carbon credits as a method of rescuing emissions.... while state-run schemes might sort of work, they are broadly dismissive of voluntary/non-state schemes - which (although they don't put it this way) are essentially a con &amp; intended to mislead.</p><p>There's a lot of corporates who are going to be (politically) exploded if the report gains traction!</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/carbontrading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>carbontrading</span></a> <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a></p>
