paparomeodelta,

Do you have the remotest idea what you are talking about?

Madoff's Ponzi scheme has already faded into insignificance, compared to the "anthropogenic global warming" scam and the billions of your and my money already being pumped into it.

Do you know how much carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide, mind you, not carbon) needs to be added to the atmosphere to push up the 'global' temperature by 2°C? You don't? Look it up. It's about twice as much as there is currently.

How much of that are we humans adding of that at the moment? About 3%.
How much is aviation adding to that? About 3% of those 3%.

How much are your LED lights going to reduce that? About 0.00001%, I would say.

What is the reality?
The reality is that the aviation industry, over the years, has been reducing fuel consumption significantly, not because of some sort of "do-gooder" "green" mentality, but simply because it makes economic sense.

Unlike wind mills, solar farms or coal-fired power stations, they're not subsidised to the same extent, you know?
