1⃣ The climate impact of aviation
@ISAE_officiel: "If we consider all the effects (CO2 and non-CO2), commercial aviation accounted for 5.1% of the climate impact over the 2000-2018. Period."

2⃣ Aviation's non-CO2 effects
@ISAE_officiel: "Specific strategies for the reduction of non-CO2 effects provide a major lever for limiting aviation’s climate impact. Due to the short lifetime of non-CO2 effects, these strategies can be effective quite quickly."

🏖️🏄♀️🌴Sommer, Sonne, Urlaubszeit: Heute arbeite ich an einem Impuls für @S4F_Kassel zum Thema #NachhaltigReisen und dachte, ich lasse euch daran teilhaben. Ein🧵voller Ideen (plus ein paar persönlichen Erfahrungen und vielen hübschen Bildern)📸 (1/n)
(2/n) Was bedeutet es eigentlich, "nachhaltig" zu reisen? Für mich fällt darunter weit mehr, als nur klimaneutral von A nach B zu kommen. Wem schade oder nutze ich ggf. mit meiner Reise? Wovon profitiere ich - und kann ich u.U. was zurückgeben?
(3/n) Reisen zu können, ist ein unglaubliches Privileg (und Fernreisen sowieso). Wusstet ihr z.B. dass ihr mit einem dt. Reisepass visumsfrei in 190 Länder reisen könnt? Das ist Platz 3 auf der Weltrangliste atlasandboots.com/travel-blog/mo…
"Small cuts in air traffic would level off global heating caused by flying"
Good article by @katerav about an important paper by @milankloewer et al. - but with a few blind spots.
Let's explain what's missing here. Thread 🔽🧵

First of all: the article talks about a 2.5% reduction in air traffic each year. That is not a small change! Because until now, air traffic has grown at >5% per year. And it wants to continue to do so after Covid - despite rising emissions and climate emergency.
What is important is that aviation cannot become climate-neutral through technology. All "alternatives" deliver too little and have disadvantages. See our new factsheets:
Airline lobby puts the industry above health!
The @IATA is calling on governments not to implement quarantine measures for arriving passengers.

We say: governments should take the health measures they consider appropriate, regardless of the impact on the airline industry or other non-essential industries. #SavePeopleNotPlanes #StayGrounded
We demand that planes stay on the ground now and not spread the virus again globally.
There are many alternatives to flying, be it local destinations for holidaymakers or video conferencing for business. #SavePeopleNotPlanes #StayGrounded

On manque de masques & tests, mais pas de milliards d'euros pour sauver @airfrance sans condition sociale ou écologique : le jour d'après ressemble furieusement au jour d'avant.
Le @gouvernementFR veut débloquer 20 milliards € pour sauver les "fleurons FR".

Il y a tout juste 10 jours, 250 ONG et syndicats du monde entier publiaient une déclaration : "Non au sauvetage inconditionnel du secteur aérien"
Manifestement, @EmmanuelMacron @gouvernementFR @BrunoLeMaire n'en tiennent pas compte

BREAKING: Lufthansa is expecting a significant decline in air travel also after the #Coronavirus crisis and will reduce its capacities and phase out several aircraft.
The beginning of the #Degrowth of aviation?

To support this, we would like to provide some more ideas on how air traffic can be further reduced in a just way. #StayGrounded

Many more airlines should follow this example (and reduce their fleets much more substantially). Unconditional bailouts by governments are counterproductive.

Cette lettre ouverte comprend trois revendications :
1⃣Priorité aux employés
2⃣Une transition juste vers une mobilité respectueuse du climat
3⃣Pas de sauvetages sans une fin des exemptions fiscales
Elle peut encore être signée ici : stay-grounded.org/savepeoplenotp…

You really have to take a flight?* You are thinking about compensating the CO2 impact? But you don't want to legitimate the bluff (@GretaThunberg) offsetting is?
Stop worrying. There's a workaround.
(*Of course, #StayGrounded whenever possible.)

Say the carbon calculator tells you to pay 50 euros to offset your emissions. Why not give this money to a group or NGO like @StayGroundedNet, which works on actual solutions for the climate impact of aviation or a group that in general addresses the causes of the climate crisis?
Giving money to small organisations, especially grassroots groups, can have a big impact. Sometimes, to do an action or campaign or not is a question of a few hundred euros.
So think twice: Do you want to contribute to a bigger change or perpetuate the old, dysfunctional system?

Marseille Provence Airport has been forced to revisit expansion plans, after the environment authority questioned how they fit with France’s climate targets.

Developers now need to demonstrate project's compatibility with France’s climate targets. Including plans "to offset emissions that could not be reduced or avoided."
Offsets are part of the green flying illusion. Compatibility with climate targets means no airport expansion.

the public opening day of the Degrowth of #Aviation Conference focused on Just & Environmentally Sound Tourism, as Barcelona is one of the cities overcrowded by tourism, involving serious environmental, health, housing & other social problems. #DecreixementTurístic

Flying will be a Major Source of our Global Warming Problems and Is Currently a Great Example for Climate Injustice – so Let‘s Put our Energies here Before it‘s Too Late!

Let‘s start this thread with the points we agree on @SasjaBeslik:
1 Global warming is a systemic problem and should be addressed first and foremost on a systemic level. Oil companies, airlines, governments and a profit orientated financial and economic system are responsible for the destruction of our planet and for the injustice related to it.
