That's my point. Is air travel actually LESS warmist when you take all that into account?
No it's just more expensive The cost of energy used in construction or railway is probably recouped fairly quickly, the cost of labor and cost of land are far more expensive, but aren't a direct climate change contributer

Let's say you're right and construction energy cost has been recouped.
So all we have left is maintenence. Why is that so expensive? How can it be so expensive without using energy and contributing to climate change?
If you employ someone and make them wear highvis and drive a crewcab pickup up and down the line surely their contribution to climate change (incuding the construction of the pickup!) has to be taken into account as well?
I suppose my unpopular opinion is: If it costs money it contributes to climate change on a proportional basis.

Hooped earrings in females; the diameter of the hoops are inversely proportional to the number of brain cells possessed by the wearer.
I say females, only because I've only seen them worn by females. If males wear them too, then my likely-unpopular opinion holds even more ground.
British woman can't really pull this look off but Spanish/Italian woman as a rule look hot with big hoop ear rings.I say females, only because I've only seen them worn by females. If males wear them too, then my likely-unpopular opinion holds even more ground.

Magnus Toolmakersson will be walked all over the shop by other world leaders who recognise a wimp out of his comfort zone.
You think. I suspect underneath that wooden exterior is a pretty ruthless operator. He's certainly taken no prisoners in his reform of the Labour party, a former leader kicked out forever, and others suspended for long periods. The law is a pretty cutthroat business. You don't get to become DPP without family connections or the old school tie without some Machiavellian shenanigans.
But I might be wrong, I've never met him.
That it is OK to just be you without endless threads about where you fit in with a load of people you don't know. Goes double for if a poll is involved.
When a thought pops into your head it is OK to work it through yourself without starting threads along the lines of; I saw a tin of Alphabetti spaghetti earlier, not seen one of those for ages, should I like Alphabetti spaghetti?
If starting a what car, bike, potato peeler, tea cosy, etc. thread and you are provided with a set of comprehensive and well reasoned suggestions, it should be compulsory to buy one of the suggested items. Also to be extended to Location Location Location, A Place In The Sun, and those low rent what car should I get TV shows.
