> Speaking in Tonga, during a meeting of Pacific Island leaders, Guterres said “This is a crazy situation: rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity’s making.

Kind of ironic given the flight from the UN headquarters to Tonga generates nearly 1500 kg of CO2 per person.

Loves the drink but curses the bottle.

Meanwhile, 30km away, the port of Rotterdam welcomes over 32,000 ocean-going vessels and 87,000 shorter-haul vessels every year, handling huge quantities of fuel and hosting the largest fuel depots in the European Union.

I wonder if a more effective tool for battling air emissions would be to only allow ads for airlines that address contrails. Contrails are something like 2% of global warming power and when addressed effectively could actually cool the planet (as some stop gap efforts while we figure out the rest of emissions, hydrocarbons in planes don't seem like they're going away any times soon).

There's a neat map and some contrail science at https://contrails.org

Oil ads? I hardly recall seeing ads for oil. Maybe ban ads for ICE vehicles would be more in line with their goals. Not that I necessarily support that.

Unsure about the effectiveness of banning air travel ads. If you have a compelling reason to go somewhere the time savings of air travel often make it a no-brainer compared to other forms of transport. Banning oil ads seems more effective long term because there alternative forms of energy for most purposes, and it helps to mitigate fossil fuel propaganda.

I really hate this. Let people decide, don’t treat them like kids.

Let’s fix the 98% of emissions that are not air travel first and then let’s fix air travel with syn fuels

… Okay, air travel I can see, but how many _oil_ ads do you see on a daily basis?

Typical leftist nonsense. I want to see the travellers living in The Hague who let themselves be harassed into forgoing their holidays.

Just a suggestion: perhaps a city council should busy itself with running the city, look after its infrastructure, grow the economy, provide great services.

I truly hope this is performance art, because there is no way that anyone with half a brain cell or more could believe that banning ads for travel will magically make it possible to bike to New Zealand, or that it will impact real polluters (India, China)
