I’m not fan of Coldplay but...
« on: November 22, 2019, 03:09:33 AM »
they are refusing, despite being a huge band to tour again until they can do so in a carbon neutral way.

Now THAT is a band with integrity. Unlike U2.

They could just have said that they're refusing to tour again, because it amounts to the same thing in practice.

Did you know the captain and some of the crew who sailed Greta from Europe to the USA on the special carbon emissions-free solar yacht flew international back to Europe once they arrived? Media didn't report that.

Lies by omission are often worse than lies by commission.  They help further the narrative.

They probably don't know any more about the science of climate change than U2 does.  They're just even bigger virtue-signallers.

Hired hands. Nothing to see here.

They'll never be able to compensate for the damaged they've done already. Now many mammoth world tours have they done?

Call me cynical (which I'm not usually) but this is just marketing bullshit.

And I will add this: since touring will never be carbon neutral, what will they say when they go back on tour? And don't get me wrong, they will eventualy. Now they can afford not to, but one day, they'll need the cash. #My2Cents

In order not to be cynical, you have to invest in caring.

I see "flight shaming" is becoming a thing.

People are getting stupider by the minute.

Not touring and not flying is not going to save the fucking planet from climate change, for fucks sake (in my best Gordon Ramsay swearing voice). And you know me, I'm convinced climate change is mostly caused by people.

National Geographic is now reporting that the polar ice sheets have reversed their melting, sea levels are stabilizing, and polar bears are fucking their brains out in delight at thes of Coldplay's brave, non-publicity driven decision.

I am going to really sleep well tonight.
