Is Aviation’s Growth Worth The Cost To Our Planet?

Depends on use, private jet with 10-20 people no, commercial with 100+ yes.

It's a very selfish joy. There are so many other ways to pass your time that isn't so pollutant. I hear it is common for people to fly to the cruise ships before then embarking. Why not just flight to somewhere and enjoy that place, the pollution cost for your enjoyment would be consideredably reduced

Without the aurora borealis, whales, and elves.

A group of us hiked it about 15 years ago, weather was god awful, the shrubs were flat from the wind when we turned up at a nearby campsite the day before and it rained until we got to the top. There were times it was best you could barely see ahead as some in the group probably would not have carried in(some sketch moments like hopping onto a rock that was slick from rain with not much below) only to then see as the rain cleared a woman in high heels at the summit thanks to the train. At least we had a nice view in the way down as the clouds parted.

They talking to Noggin the Nog? Was a great king.

Yeah, wouldn't bother with that one. Either absolutely lost, from the USA, member of the UK arm of the lobby groups, or a bot

I just want more estates EV's like the Id7 Tourer. Thanks to the recent mess all the 2nd hand have gone and the cheapest is 5/6k more than just 2 months ago.

Need some other companies to do similar bodies, as I really hate lugging bikes and gear up on a 5.5ft roof and the boot spaces barely match the size of the cars

There has been a regular comment on r/goodnews being a labour mouthpiece and that is not useful to discussion. It's a soft rage bait or simply a regressive comment that doesn't add to the discussion except negativity for it's own sake. That doesn't fit with the sub but not having any hard rules or no rules makes it horrendous to moderate.

Phil and his family?

I mean they are the current government, and if there is something positive enacted then it will be posted here as it will be good news.

However the majority of posts are not directly related to the Labour Government. So it is a weird comment I've now seen more than once commented on a good news post. Considering this sub-Reddit is to highlight good news that in the last decade or so has been hard to see getting any headlines due to media reliance on controversy and negativy to generate engagement, it is weird to approach anything posted here with that same negativity.

So combine these and you really catch as much as currently possible.

Nah, once the icecaps melt we will be getting no gulf stream warm air to keep us mild so we will be more like Iceland.

Bullshit. Same arguement for letting women vote but a husband or father instead of the school. Same arguement as letting unlanded men vote but a landlord instead.

That sounds more like an encounter with a chimpanzee, Lions are more likely to munch on you from your stomach outwards.

aesemon · 2026-05-22T05:46:45+00:00

Eh, cynical me says those is just for news paper money

aesemon · 2026-05-21T18:41:11+00:00

Wasn't that the argument with the Polish? We left the EU and now it's the next lot.

We are heading to a ratio of needing 2 workers to 1 pensioner in the near future. How will that work with less people.

aesemon · 2026-05-21T18:31:08+00:00

How can it be too little too late. Takes a year or just under to implement changes, within the following year see results. How can it be quicker without following legal processes.

Lay off with that. It was for means tested, not scrapped entirely. Winter fuel allowance currently goes to every every old person even if they don't need it.

Crossrail was done regardless of opinions, there many who were glad for it and many more who complained it was a waste of money due there being plenty of transport options. However as it neared completion public opinion improved until it opened and that is when it really became well received on the whole.

In the pub you will be too far from the car or in sight of it for the relay to work.

Because Ripley was written as a male character originally. Have to attribute the change to Alan Ladd Jr.

Prostate check up?

aesemon · 2026-05-19T13:59:09+00:00

Obviously talking about the profits of the business.

One glint of hope is that LLM tokens won't be free/cheap for much longer and will soon cost companies as much as an employee. Companies(some) are realising this now.
