We’re going where the sun shines brightly.

Following on from yesterday’s post, I’ve rung up Bristol council and established that four council representatives are in the delegation visiting Bristol’s twin town Hannover to learn about being a host city for an international sporting event.

(Note – personally I don’t subscribe to climate alarmism, but the Council do and they’re the ones swanning around by plane)

Assuming they flew to Hannover from Bristol via Amsterdam, that’s 252 kg (552 lb) of CO2 for the first leg, and 200kg (440 lb) for the second leg. Double up for the return flights and that gets you a total of 900 kg of scary CO2. Add in a bit extra for the hotel, restaurant, civic reception, canapés, corporate box at a football match, champagne and taxis, and you’ve got about half the maximum “safe” annual carbon emissions for one person.

I imagine the Council will be purchasing Indulgences (Carbon Offsets) to cover these emissions, which means I can write another blog post ridiculing that.

All for information you can get off the internet. Play us out, Sir Cliff.
