France bans short domestic flights to cut carbon emissions

Great idea. I always travel by train from London to Paris. The trains are more comfortable than airplanes and a great way to see the countryside.

Use a glider no more carbon

Happens invest in police New Femily all France okay TNX GOOD Family First France and police and Democracy in police And peace and business ok Happy investment in police and peace

Smart move. Some ICE (inter city express) trains are zipping around at 150 miles per hour. They are much more comfortable than aircraft, cheaper and because you embark and disembark in the city center instead of miles out of the city you reduce your cost and the commuting time. You're where you want to be and the time difference isn't much longer .

But what are they going to do about the over one hundred volcanos that are spewing more CO2 in earths atmosphere that every car jet or bbq for a thousand years. Valcanos blowing tons and tons of CO2 and there is nothing you can do. There is not enough money in the planet to stop valcanos.

All aboard the climate change stupid train!

What was not mentioned is both the lower "passenger miles per unit of fuel" for shorter flights, and as trains are electric, France produces about 75% of its electricity from nuclear, whereas the US still produces 60% from fossil fuels.

These bans must also apply to all private jets.

This is when American politicians like Diane Fienstien decide between train travel or plane travel. Also out of office work, BUT DO Something

Barçelona to Madrid is faster by train, then by airplane….

I've decided start riding a burro. That'll show the planet

Globalist scam

This is a great idea. I don't understand why countries like France and Japan have short haul air travel routes
when they also have great high speed rail service. Comfortable and high service levels. Good food and wi-fi.

I’m ok with this if train travel makes more sense. But make no sense if we still allow private jets

Wont work here in the US because people like me would take the longer flight out of spite

The 430,000-lb (195,044-kg) train runs on 18,000 lithium-ion battery cells

So dumb… the politicians take private jets!

ahahahha 100 passengers on a plane going 100 miles is a YUGELY smaller impact than 100 people driving 50 cars with 2 in each

100 passengers on a plane is less impactful than 100 people on a train..
10 flights of 100 people on planes, 1000 people,, is LESS impactful than a 1000 people on trains..
sorry charlie

CAPITALISM IS DEAD.

Long live to communism!

I only take hot air balloons when I travel in France.

It has become a law and yes, whilst it's not perfect, well done to France for doing such a move. France being and proving of being such a progressive country that is ready to go ahead and really start the wheel turning.

🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋

Yeah but the rich can still get there private jets and helicopters for 30 minute flights just another way to target the middle and lower class wake up people they don’t care enough to tell rich people to stop flying.

Yeeaaah. How about them private jets???🤔

Oh no! John 🤥Kerry needs to rush to his climate speeches in a private 737 jet(yes I'm exaggerating) and then this V8 armored Chevy Suburban along with his family in a V12 Mercedes armored van all around the world. 😂

Edit: I approve this message.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

They clearly said it's not of carbon but of promotion of thier rapid rail transits systems they were working for yrs .

This is bad reporting, almost biased against what's the beginning of a good measure. Why?

It sounds like a bad idea and it is a bad idea. Promoting the climate change nonsense. Shame on you

How long before we find out if it's a case of laws for thee, but not for me?

ban biden plane too, he is pro green deal

In the meantime China and India are laughing at us...

This is an attack on free market economics. What a shock. The climate movement is the domain of the Left.

One month later. OMG it's so planned.

Emmanuel Macron uses an Airbus A330 to travel. From an external point of view, this plane looks exactly like an Airbus A330 of the classic airlines. In reality, inside, there are almost no similarities. In the cabin of the presidential plane, there is a room with a bathroom, an office that allows the president to get in touch with anyone, a meeting room that can accommodate 12 people, a medical area with a small operating room, a business area to accommodate companions and finally an economic area for the security service and the staff on board.
Finally, it is estimated that the cost of using this carrier is about 21,000 per flight hour and its purchase price is 230,000,000 €.

On the other hand, Emmanuel Macron also travels on a private jet of a more reasonable size. It is a Falcon 7x of the French manufacturer Dassault (competitor of Bombardier). This jet is used for trips of a shorter distance, generally for travel within the country.

DECEPTION. DO NOT CONSENT
