I’m not an actor and I’m not famous, but I’m urging people to look at the number of planes in the sky at any one time on Flightradar24 and then a picture of sheep grazing on a hillside below, and to decide for themselves which is most likely to be causing climate change.

@PickardJE Key difference here is that he inherited it, whereas Mr Rashford earned all of his wealth through his own hard work and talent. Apparently, in this country, the former is more respectable than the latter. Also, Mr Rashford pays tax in this country while the Viscount does not.

You scratch the surface of the overpopulation argument and it's always "too many of *them*." India's per capita GHG emissions is about 3tCO2e. Scotland per capita GHG footprint is about 13.7tCO2e. But aye, *they're* the problem.
