| Quote: Psychedelic Casual "Teams will only be filling up seats on a plane where the flight already exists. It’s not like each club are buying their own plane and putting on extra flights to and from Toronto, the flights would be going to and from Manchester and would arguably be full whether rugby teams are on them or not.'"
More demand = more flights so, I think that your supposition is just wrong.
If your analogy was right, there would only be one runway at Manchester and there would be no pressure to build a 3rd runway at Heathrow.
If demand increases, either the price will go up or they will put on more flights (or both).

When did he say "JUST" city based teams?
Since when has UK sport been BASED on local derbies and long-standing rivalries?
For the last 20 years we've been told UK sport is based on promotion and relegation, haven't we?

You are right in that it's government who set the tone for how we are able to go about our everyday lives.
However, with pressure on environmental issues certain to increase over the coming years, there could well be a point where there is serious pressure on all of us to reduce how much and how often we travel, especially with regards to flying and this could impact on all sport (not just RL).
We're not there yet and probably not even close but, it's coming.

Just like Emma Thompson flying first class from her American home to support extinction rebellion, she stated to media it was flying here anyway, total rubbish as demand always stokes supply and vice versa, don’t believe otherwise, but as I say this is an opinion and we all are entitled to one, mine may be as wrong or right as yours.

I think it’s really up to all of us but on your other points I think are absolutely spot on.

| Extinction Rebellion will not solve climate change.
They block up streets, meaning cars sit in jams for longer, pumping out more emmisions.
Technology and Enterprise will lead to the reduction in climate change. But whether it is already too late is a different matter.
Either it is only delaying the inevitable, we will see ourselves off one way or another. It's just about how many other animals we will take with us.

Good points, but the carbon footprint generated by the action of sitting in streets and causing jams will be offset by the publicity it generates and the group will see it as a nett positive, probably in the same way as Emma Thompson turning up , she to be fair to her probably saw it as a nett gain for the group, we will all have our own thoughts on it though, I generated the debate because I thought it would be healthy to talk about a current plight that involves us all and on this occasion involves our sport, I find the views of others interesting.

You can't offset carbon emissions with publicity.
The point ER were trying to make was smoke-screened with ordinary people who were disadvantaged and inconvenienced through their disruptive actions.
Net result was people thought ER and Emma Thompson were bellends.
The point that should have been made was lost.

| Probably no different to the champions League, playing finals in stupid locations, and the excessive amount of games in the europa League, also NFL playing several games at Wembley

Still is I guess, the fact I linked a rugby issue with an environmental issue still makes it a rugby related one do you not agree

Your right global warming is down to nature. Nature made a species that has the capacity for a short period to live outside the laws of evolution.
The species has become so successful that it over populates, which leads to a shift in the balance of nature. However, Newton was no idiot and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Over population will be solved by nature being out of balance and reducing resources and environmental factors that would maintain the dominant species.
RL travelling or not travelling to Canada 15 times in a year will make no difference.
