A climate change think thank chaired by London Mayor Sadiq Khan concluded that major cities should limit their residents to one return flight per two to three years.
FOX News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has details on the Biden administrations American Climate Corps on Special Report.
The organization’s goal – which includes participation from major capitals around the world like London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Istanbul, Berlin, Amsterdam and Copenhagen – is to cut climate change-related emissions by 50% in its member cities within a decade to stop global warming. A recent Daily Telegraph article highlighting the report states,"To put that into context, the C40 cities account for about one 12th of the global head-count. So that’s about 664 million people; roughly twice the population of the USA."
"The ideas mentioned are not proposals let alone recommendations and the Mayor is certainly not suggesting to anyone that they shouldn’t eat meat, or that they shouldn’t fly. It is for cities to determine the most effective implementation pathway for them," the spokesperson said. Hall accused Khan of"swanning off to America to lecture everyone" while Londoners were being hit by the"disastrous' Ultra-Low Emission Zone expansion. ULEZs are areas that charge cars a daily fee if they don't meet certain emissions standards.
