The Climate Change Thread

benson We had a nightmare journey down the mountain from Val D’Isere about 8-9 years ago. Maybe 7 hours on the coach back to Chambery? Swore never again, and been easy to stick to that.

RichM I’ve flown 4 times this year, might be 5 before the end of the year. What does that make me??

An absolute winner!

Remember flying to Leeds a few years ago to go to the Yorkshire Dales.

Was about £100 cheaper than getting the rattler.

Smallman1 Jesus wept.

Smallman1 this is true, the train prices are obscene in the UK plus the service is shit, I have no idea how the intend to get people to use them, environmental concerns isn’t going to cut it when your wallet gets raped to travel a few miles.

Was a great trip, are some unbelievable food!

RichM

Hursty totally agree. Trains should be a public service that is affordable. It’s crazy the prices of trains these days, and they are often a poor service

Interestingly, there are no direct flights from any London airport to Leeds.

I wonder if Smallman flew via Amsterdam. Or maybe via SPIKE ISLAND.

Smallman1

Dave clearly missed the “a few years ago” part.

The daft idiot.

benson

Smallman1 there did used to be British midland flights in the early 2000s

Smallman1

Lads, I’ve just checked and it was Manchester we flew into and not Leeds.

More lies I hear you say?!

Millsy

The question is how did inter UK flights between major cities become a thing? If it was faster, cheaper, better by train then there would be no market for it to succeed

bosstrabs

Hursty Apparently BA make fuck all from the MAN-LHR flights, it is mostly run as a feeder to Terminal 5 for easy onward journeys.

And for someone like me, I would definitely go KLM or Emirates and totally fuck BA off if they didn’t provide it.

6:55 to fancy London. Standing room only in 1st due to cancellation of previous services.

Seat reservation out the window so I’m having to sit facing the wrong way. No space to do any work.

The WiFi is so poor I can’t even stream @ScottBailey s latest mix. Never had to stream when I was on the promo list 😡

Expected arrival time starting to creep and I STILL HAVEN’T HAD MY BACON SANDWICH.

Tickets @ £550 return, standard was £370.

Tempted to rejoin Twitter so I can FEWWWWWM

Homegrove Tories don’t a fuck about the environment judging by the comments section in The Times

I found out yesterday that the carbon cost of training an AI language model is the equivalent of 300 return flights from Paris to NYC. There’s your perspective now, lads. We’re doomed.

LT42 We’re doomed.

But… AI is going to save us…

Hursty

You would think they would build Datacentres close to the source of renewable energy to tap into excess generation more easily thus reducing their impact….but they don’t

Same with battery storage facilities, what happened to Britvolt? Shit canned by the Uk gov

Yet the individual will be blamed no doubt
