You might not like him but he's right

Michael O'Leary who is the head of Ryan Air on climate change and China:

"Rejecting the idea that concerns over climate change could affect passenger numbers he said it was "complete bloody nonsense" for western governments to worry about aviation when it produced only 2% of the world's carbon emissions while shipping and the power industry produced much more.

"China and India are laughing at us while they build more coal-fired power stations. The European middle classes are having a mid-life crisis and the sooner we wake up and say so the better."

Hate the guy but I agree with what he says. Of course we need to take stand on climate change, but here in Hong Kong where the results of pollution can be seen most days it has rejected recycling for being non-cost effective.

When the President of China came for a visit they had a problem of the pollution so what did they do? Why they shut down the factories for a week. Genius.
