AIR NEW ZEALAND RECEIVES 'FOSSIL FOOLS' AWARD



Uploaded by: hereticutube
Video Description:
A pair of climate refugee polar bears present Air New Zealand with New Zealand's first ever 'Fossil Fool' award. The company was chosen for the award because of their recent eco-branding program which attempts to give their customers the impression that damage to the climate due to air travel can can be responsibly offset by purchasing carbon credits.
Companies like Air New Zealand would have us believe that we can escape climate change with techno-fixes, market mechanisms and offset schemes - all technocratic acrobatics that distract us from the truth: the only real solution to climate change is to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

What a bunch of fools these people are.
You target an industry that produces 2% of all mans carbon emissions! talk about low hanging fruit. Perhaps if you environazis took a little time to examine the science, and less time following an ultimately failing pseudo religious doctrine, you might actually learn a little about the environment.
What Global warming? it hasn't warmed since 1998, in fact its cooled by 0.7C and the "latest" computer models suggest nothing until 2015, the sky is falling!

BTW...the world was up to 12C warmer over the preceeding millenia...care to explain why Polar Bears didn't die out then? particulalrly given the fact that it has been proved that the arctic has been ice free long before man was on the scene
Air Travel is the ... ( 3 months ago by aucklandffd2008)
Air Travel is the fastest growing source of carbon dioxide in the world, thats a fact. Emissions from aircraft are especially problematic because of the height at which they are emitted and the particularly noxious mix of gases, making them 2.7 times more damaging than the effect of their carbon dioxide alone (known as radiative forcing). (Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research). Tell me of one peer reviewed article that conclusively proves climate change ISN'T man-made....
you and your ... ( 1 month ago by haughtney)
you and your breatheren to howl from the nearest roof top, because someone can't Dis-prove an un UNPROVEN hypothesis?
As for the Tyndal centre...go back and read the research documentation, it quite clearly states that the ASSUMPTION made is that radiative forcing is warming, it takes no account of lower level cloud behaviour, nor the natural feedback of diurnal temperature variation.
Your argument is full of holes, at least I can show you the observations that prove mine.
