I applaud any concrete steps a company takes to reduce their pollution impact. Kudos. Climate change is going to be a serious problem in the next few decades and I hope to pass on a habitable, stable world to my children. If it’s too late, at the very least, I can tell them I believed the people that sounded the alarm.

I did my own analysis, earth is going to be 1000 degrees hotter in 10 years unless we adopt socialism today.

My guess is that Delta is trying to get ahead of possible legislation against them in Congress. Try and fix it your way or have regulations stuffed down your throat by Washington. It may happen anyway depending on how elections go later this year.

If politicians, actors, whoever want to scream and cry about climate change and the CO2 emissions from planes, they should be the first ones to stop flying them, but that never happens. Here’s one recent example:

It won't go anywhere in Congress. Ed is just very liberal.

Just hope the whole company was in on this unlike the ban the NRA stunt.

It's not a scam and is preserving our children's future.

Delta's commitment to sustainability is one of the reasons I chose to come here. Three years later and they're sticking to it. I'm damn proud of this company (most of the time).

This isn't new, and Delta has been doing it for close to 10 years now.

Cool. So it’s not a problem? theres nothing we can do about it? It’s too expensive? The so called climate PhD “experts” are trying to scam/scare us all to keep their funding so they can perpetually do phony research and bank those sweet five figure salaries? (That last ones my favorite).

Did you not read FTB’s post? He posts the overwhelming answer that climate alarmists tell us we must do to stop climate change... Just ask Bernie.. or AOC....
Here’s a hint.... the earth’s climate has been changing long before man came along, and will continue to change long after we’re gone......

Just fly into LAX and look at the thick brown ring of smog. No pollution problem?

So for you climate change deniers, serious question: what's the downside of cleaning up our act and doing what we can to reduce our impact and destruction of our own habitat? At a minimum well see what, cleaner air? Cleaner water? Is the best argument you got is that it will cost us a few pennies come profit sharing time? Yeah, I'm ok with that. :rolleyes:

It kind of is.....how long does it take for that "offset" to grow to actually offset the "carbon?" By the time it gets big enough, 1,000 more offsets will have been needed. 😊

Population control is the only way to fix the problem and that is politically incorrect. 😁
