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.

Some people may be, but, to a person, the foreigners I’ve met are deeply saddened, and terrified of the consequences of the Trump regime.

Their feeling is simply that America re-elected a convicted felon, rapist, and traitor who attempted to overthrow the U.S. federal government. If we’re willing to do that, we’re capable of anything, regardless of how depraved.

I’ve never understood why those who compose total bullshit like this don’t go for the gusto. Why 95% and not 99% or 100%?

Trump’s actual approval rating among Republicans is somewhere between 75% and 80%, as can be easily verified by anyone on Earth with a cell phone or computer. That number continues to dwindle, as he faces more pressure regarding the war, gas prices, child rape, etc.

Obviously, the president’s supporters are suckers for his lies, but isn’t this a bit over the top?

I get a call every week or so from someone working for a start-up in oil exploration, hoping that I’ll invest. I guess my name and cell number got collected somehow from various online searches I’ve made.
