Bristol mayor flies nine hours for TED climate conference
 

The UK's first city mayor to declare a climate crisis has been questioned for flying nine hours to attend a conference to urge leaders to cut CO2.

Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees told the TED conference in Canada that city mayors could influence carbon policy.

Climate campaigners Flight Free UK calculated the trip created 2.016 tonnes (2,016kg) of CO2 per passenger and was at odds with his message.

The mayor's office said he had a full agenda with networking opportunities.

A spokesman said the mayor was invited at the expense of the TED organisation as a speaker to share ideas and help change attitudes.

Do as I say, not as I do

Yet another one :facepalm:

Why didn't he just zoom?

Let's face facts, it was a jolly-up

He is soon giving up his job.

he did zoom across the sky

Bristol voted to scrap the mayoral position in the locals so looks like he's trying to milk his benefits for all their worth in the time he's got left

junket

Everyone here dislikes him because he's useless ! but not for much longer we voted to get rid of the Mayors :cheer2: having 3 what a complete waste of money.
