Too bad the survey didn’t ask how many flights each respondent had taken during their lives
A new poll shows that a shocking number of French citizens support banning people from flying more than four times in their lives due to climate change.
A poll from research firm Consumer Science and Analytics Institute (CSA) found that 41% of citizens would support such a limit. That number rose to 59% support among 18-24-year-olds. The suggested limit, proposed by engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici, would apply to air travel for business and pleasure.
The poll surveyed 1,010 French residents over the age of 18. It found that support for air travel restrictions was far higher among younger age groups. While a majority opposed the four-flight lifetime maximum, 64% of the respondents said they would be willing to limit their air travel in the near or medium term to combat climate change.
Climate activists across the globe have pushed for wide-ranging restrictions aimed at reducing carbon emissions, from limiting car travel to banning plastic straws.
Yet, the same climate activists are constantly taking long fossil fueled flights. Like
Last year, the United Nations General Assembly declared that everyone on the planet has a right to a healthy environment.

She’s a bigshot youth for the UN climate cult, and takes lots of fossil fueled flights, like flying to NYC, then a trip to Boston. And there are plenty of those. It’s a cult. France should pass a law restricting those who are 18-24 right now, see the freakout.
