MAYOR OF BRISTOL FLIES 4,000 MILES TO LECTURE ABOUT CLIMATE CRISIS
The Labour Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees, who was the first city mayor brave enough
to declare a climate crisis in the UK, has fulfilled his moral duty to save the planet by
hopping on a nine hour flight to Canada and lecturing his fellow political leaders
on the dangers of pumping carbon into the atmosphere. Appearing as a speaker at
the TED climate conference, Rees’ spokesperson said he was there “to share ideas and
help change attitudes” on climate policies. Presumably “use Zoom more often” wasn’t
one of those ideas…
Climate campaigners are already claiming Rees’ flight pumped out 2.016 tonnes
of CO2 per passenger, travelling over 4,600 miles each way to tell everyone to stop
using so much carbon. Apparently he had to be there in person because he had “a full agenda”:
