It's still a straw man as unrelated to the merits of flying to Blackpool.
And to make it worse, these devices are often discarded a few years after use (and in some cases, designed with obsolescence in mind) and are difficult to recycle too. Smartphones are absolutely dreadful for the environment.
No more so than your point about cutting down on eating meat, to be fair.
Jet lagged?
The flight back from Southampton landed at 23:26 - they'd have been back at the Academy before midnight.
We're talking about the next 50 - 100 years now. What you refer to happened over millions of years. The here and now issue of global warming would be fixed if nobody ate meat. It's never going to happen though so I wouldn't worry about it either way.
I did say 'more reasonable' to be fair. To be honest there aren't many journeys at all that a club based centrally like us should need to make by air.
Meat production is more about CH4 than it is about CO2, but nobody mentions CH4 because most people wouldn't contemplate giving up meat, and like you say, meat is a sign of prosperity in developing countries. CH4 is just as much a cause of global warming, if not more, than CO2. So the principle was what I referred to.
Everyone (ourselves included) feels that way when it comes to our destructive our luxuries and conveniences, if we are being honest. Show me someone that doesn't and I'll show you a liar.
Newcastle is about 10 minutes further away! Just let them do what they want i say.
From here Newcastle is further but quicker to get to. It's a 2 hour journey with a decent run, took me 2.5 hours to get to Blackpool and that was a decent run tbf.
I mean air travel for a team like Newcastle getting down to the south coast etc makes sense. Not us getting up there.
Ultimately everyone does, including those criticising others for their choices. The difference really is that some people get on with it, whilst others point fingers whilst convincing themselves that the things that they do are okay or justifiable somehow.
Ah, the great human being. Believes he can control something the size of the earth and its climate. It's a great money making scheme for some, a scam to many others.
I don't know enough about the CH4, CO2 to really comment but I certainly support your last comment with a top hat and a pint of imported beer. Dont' worry though, we're not all doomed and for those of us who like a steak and chips, we can continue eating them. Have faith in the human race, and it's remarkable tendency to solve problems through innovation. When the 5bn people that can only dream of our living standards experience the same levels of education. We'll have 250% the brain power! We might just be ok as a human race. In the meantime, let's worry about three points more than how the players get there ... and what they eat for their recovery meals!
People who believe man-made climate change is a scam often refer to this "money making scheme" but can never really point out where this money is being made or who by with any real examples.
Where's here?
Nottingham.
Nottingham to Newcastle is easily 3 to 3.5 hours as it’s 165 miles. I do it regularly.
