Friends of the Earth's Big Ask campaign took their petition to Parliament today (watch the film here) asking for aviation to be included in the Climate Change Bill. Oil prices seem to be doing a fairly good job of constraining demand right now, and our old friend Michael O'Leary's Ryannair oxygen mask problems last week (BBC News article here) have also contributed (maybe you had to swipe your credit card before they'd give you a lungful of life-saving gas following the sudden depressurisation of the plane...during which the pilot said...well, er, nothing. Customer service eh? Admittedly he might have had other priorities on his hands).
On a completely different note, for all of us Norfolk boys and girls out there (I wear my 'Normal for Norfolk' t-shirt with pride) another regionally challenged mate sent me the link to the film below. It's probably funnier if you're from the right side of the Fens, but a piece of musical genius from wherever you hail from. Kanye West needs to change his name to East!
