From CNBC:

Air New Zealand on Tuesday dropped its 2030 climate goal, citing delivery delays of fuel-efficient aircraft and the affordability of alternative jet fuels.

The announcement means that New Zealand’s national flag carrier has become the first major airline to water down its near-term climate aspirations, a move that reflects the scale of the industry’s challenge to meet its decarbonization goals.

Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran said in a statement that it has become apparent in recent weeks “that potential delays to our fleet renewal plan pose an additional risk to the target’s achievability.”

Should we be angry at Air New Zealand, when they’re the first airline on the planet to be honest?

There is a limit to which companies in this industry, or any other, can go to maintain both profitability and their commitment to environment sustainability.

As the Earth’s temperature continues to warm, will consumers make sacrifices? Will corporation accept cuts in earnings? The simple answer to both these questions is no.

Very few people object to Donald Trump on the basis that he’s a capitalist. All 340 million of us live in a capitalist country, one that has done just fine for itself over the last 250 years.

On the other hand, the vast majority of Americans reject Trump as a lifelong criminal, now sucking the life out of the common citizen, and throwing away our country’s former glory so as to further enrich himself.

Question: Why is Venus, though farther from the sun than Mercury, much hotter?

Answer: Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.

Relevance: As shown here, heavily funded (funded by whom?) climate deniers are inventing dozens (hundreds?) of ways to convince us that climate change is a hoax.

IMO, the most important principle at stake here is the freedom of speech as guaranteed under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a document that used to be held in very high regard.
