Caroline Lucas, Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, said: “Private jets are the climate-wrecking preserve of the mega-rich. So it’s no surprise that a government, run by millionaires, for millionaires, is allowing privileged private jet flyers to flourish at the expense of people and planet"

🔥 On their arrival, jets were blocked by @Debt4ClimateCH@twitter.com

De actie op #schiphol v.d. #klimaatactivisten verdient onze steun.
#privatejets zijn ontiegelijk vervuilend. De broeikasgassen uitgestoten in 4 uur evenaren de uitstoot v.d. gemiddelde burger in één jaar! #CO2 #GHG
Er zouden 40 #privatejets naar #Londen vliegen wat prima met de trein kan.
Dr naam van de bezette #terminal zegt alles wat mankeert aan de #klimaatdoelen van #schiphol; Very Very Important People terminal 😔

#Govts and #bigBusiness are using the #opportunity (#crisis) for various things, good and bad, including, no particular order:
- test #reduceTravel (especially #airTravel), not necessarily for the #powerElite who can use #privateJets and #helicopters.
- test #UBI,
- buy up #assets at #lowerPrices,
- boost #militaryBudget, increase #militarisation of #policeForce (especially in #Australia),
