Will it raise the cost of flying easyJet or are costs 'offset' too?

Let me guess. Passengers will not be allowed to breath while on their planes?

EasyJet cancel approximately 50% of their scheduled flights. That’s how they offset carbon.

It’s called hang gliding, I think. And there’s no first class.

Awesome. Solar and wind powered aircraft. Who knew? Lucky no fossil fuel products are used in any way shape or form in the production of these awesome planes. Right?

And they’ll be forced to peddle to keep the engines rotating.

Plant a tree for every mile flown.

That is the only way to offset Liberal insanity.

Airline with net-zero carbon flights is akin to Holy Grail horses.

“Carbon offsetting” is just a way of forcing people to pay for something that they must do anyway. Voluntary now, compulsory later. Not much later if a dem is elected to the White House.

EasyJet (Britain) is just virtue signaling to the Climate
Change Throng in the UK, most of whom are liberal arts majors
with no comprehension of the laws of physics and/or engineering.
