Exclusive: TheDCNF Asked Paris Climate Accord Backers If They’d Support Banning Private Jets. Most Didn’t Respond
Most companies and individuals TheDCNF reached out to did not respond, including Facebook, Apple, Google and other companies that often tout their “green image.” Not even former Vice President Al Gore, the father of climate activism, responded to TheDCNF’s question.
In fact, all but two of the 26 corporations were silent when asked by TheDCNF if they would support a ban on private jets to help cut greenhouse gas emissions in line with what the United Nations says is needed to meet the Paris accord. TheDCNF asked a total of 31 companies, foundations and individuals if they would support a private jet ban.

Ban airliners, buses and trains while your at it. Ships too. Especially oil tankers and container ships.
How about housing? Congress always complains about the price of D.C. Housing. We could build a big tenement building for them with 750 sq ft apartments for each member. What more do they need?
...and yachts
But the 'little people' are forced to see their cultures destroyed? Burn 'em out... not just the streets of Paris... all metaphorical 'streets' ...
—I’ve felt that quarters copied from what a private, first class has fresh out of basic training (and requiring that they live in it) would be satisfactory—
IF there is anything to the idea that changes in the stratosphere are affecting Earth’s climate in a negative way (and I don’t say that’s true, I just said, “if”) - then jet transport aircraft exhaust is my #1 candidate for causation.
My candidate would be volcanic eruption.
I say this because a friend of mine from our time at Keesler Airforce Base later ran the meteorological computers at Tinker Airforce base for a decade and a half.
The Ozone layer thins when volcanoes erupt chlorine compounds into the upper atmosphere.
Since we can’t stop volcanoes the old fashioned way of throwing a virgin in maybe we can stop them by throwing the politicians in? I’m not sure if this would work but I still think we should try this again and again until we have good results.
So the elites will force this crap on the common folk and great expense and hardship. Enough hardship that the normally passive wine and cheese siesta people of France are rioting and burning Paris.
Like someone else pointed out. It has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with more taxes and control of the populace.
My favorite one was : “There are more cars on the road so we need to raise the gas tax to cover the repairs.” IF there are so many extra cars on the road aren’t they using more gas thereby paying a lot more in taxes now?
They just siphon off the money to use somewhere else while the roads get worse so they can raise the tax again.

If you burn a gallon of any of them you will produce about 20 lbs of CO2 because the oxygen has a molecular weight of 16 and there are 2 oxygens plus the single carbon with a molecular weight of 12. Combustion is oxidation so the weight comes mainly from the oxygen.
The other byproduct of combustion is water, H20. Hydrogen has a molecular weight of one and there are two of them but the oxygen is 16.
So there is not a lot of difference in the CO2 produced from gasoline, diesel, or jet fuel.
The two biggest sources of CO2 are the tailpipes of autos/pickups and power plants so those are where most of the effort is in reducing CO2.
But of course jet aircraft does produce CO2, just not nearly as much as automobiles. Excluding military, most of jet aircraft miles is the mass market and the private market is relatively small.
In the mass market the main source of CO2 is the short hop flights like Dallas to Houston and LA to Frisco because they burn most of the fuel to reach altitude.
I'm not accusing any of you of being global warming fanatics but if you wanted to reduce aircraft emissions of CO2 you should promote high speed rail to replace short hop air flights.
Google especially.
They have a phony contract with NASA Ames that allows them to claim their corporate jets are “research aircraft” and thus park them at Ames.
No other private aircraft are allowed to land at Ames Federal Airfield.
Google pulled this off by ponying up cash to renovate some of the old dirigible hangars that NASA was never going to be able to do. Just a bit of graft.
So Google execs get their own private airport in their backyard and no one else gets to play.
Guess they can claim they are saving carbon by not flying from San Jose.
“.... promote high speed rail ....” Hey. Jerry moonbeam is workin’ on it.
Hey, not his boat, not his pollution. ;-)

Building? I think you mean BURROWING. Made it all underground, right under ‘work’.
They won’t need worry about their ‘carbon footprint’ getting to/fro, their car/driver stipends, the gym/barber are already on site....
California needs to give it up and hire China.
