"… even with the original, higher #CORSIA baseline, offsets would make up less than 1% of airlines' 2019 operating costs by 2035.
Prices that low mean the scheme offers little incentive to lower emissions."

"A @dw_environment@twitter.com analysis based on data by @TheICCT@twitter.com shows that projected growth in demand and fuel efficiency means that airlines are unlikely to buy any offsets for the next 5 years, even if the industry recovers faster than it expects."

#CORSIA "does not make airlines offset emissions from domestic flights, which make up a third of aviation emissions but fall outside the ICAO's remit, or include the owners of private jets. Some states with little air travel are also exempt."
https://www.dw.com/en/corsia-climate-flying-emissions-offsets/a-56309438
#CORSIA is currently voluntary and will only apply to all ICAO member states after 2027.

The truth about the global plan to make flying "green". 🤥✈️
"'#CORSIA is a wreck that is too broken to fix,' said Magdalena Heuwieser, co-founder of #StayGrounded. 'It is even worse than doing nothing because it distracts from real solutions.'"

Many organisations are reducing their business air travel to cut carbon.
We are growing our community of organisations modernising their travel policies to make business travel more climate-friendly.
You know what's really handy in a pandemic: staying at home, even if you're rich.
What's handy in a climate crisis: ban climate-wrecking excesses like private jets!

"Due in large part to the growth of short-haul flights, 149 of the 365 cross-border rail links that once existed in Europe were non-operational in 2018, with rail now accounting for only 8% of all passenger travel in EU member states."

It’s Penguin Awareness Day! #DidYouKnow a group of penguins in water is called a raft but on land they are called a waddle? 🐧

"Existing academic assessments [of Information and Communication Technologies and tourism] are optimistic, simplistic and monocausal, with a focus on business and marketing opportunities."

17 of the 20 busiest air routes in Europe are less than 700km - almost all of these journeys could be shifted to rail. ✈️➡️🚆
Time for the EU & member states to make it happen! #EuropeOnRail #EUYearOfRail https://germanwatch.org/en/19680
Happy #PenguinAwarenessDay! 🐧

It's #PenguinAwarenessDay and science reckons that Emperor penguins might not have any place to live in a world 2°C warmer.
Worse, we are in the 6th mass extinction of species and loosing ~200 species every day. Reducing consumption in the global North is key to any solution.

Today in the NYT there’s a story about how imagining activities & scenes to look forward to can help us with difficult times during the pandemic.
I’m looking forward to big dinners w/ friends & live shows. How about you? https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1165340309384908800
Once again, the state is stepping in to help an airline that has laid off staff in the crisis. Easyjet gets a 1.87 billion $ loan, backed by the UK.
What we need now is a just permanent reduction of air traffic, not keeping airlines alive at any price!
