Prince William or Rishi Sunak wont go to the WWC final 09:31 - Aug 18 with 5571 views | blueasfook | Have to say that's a bit of a poor show. If it was the men's final you can bet your bottom dollar they'd be there. Especially a poor show from William who is president of the FA. Are they actually serious about promoting the women's game? I wonder how those ladies will be feeling having made the final, and then finding out the president of the FA cant be arsed to come. [Post edited 18 Aug 2023 9:32]

Prince William or Rishi Sunak wont go to the WWC final on 10:10 - Aug 18 by The_Flashing_Smile | Indeed. I've no love for Sunak/the Tories, but he'd be damned if you do/damned if you don't. In fact the fall out would be far worse if he jetted off to Oz to watch a football match during a cost of living crisis. |
They're sending the Foreign Secretary so the carbon footprint and jolly from jetting out there is the same. |  |

He's about as much a 'proper football fan' as David Cameron was. |  |

Prince William or Rishi Sunak wont go to the WWC final on 09:38 - Aug 18 by Powrigan | With William being an eco nut, would it not be hypocritical of him to fly all that way to spend a few hours in a stadium? |
Yes but we've got to b Find something to be outraged all the time. It's so absolutely tiresome how it's like a national past time to find fault in everything and anything. Positivity and forgiveness will soon be completely lost practices. I tell you what we could do, but this could be madness. Just support and promote the girls out in Australia. Let's shout about what is happening and not what isn't! |  |

If you ask your captors nicely they might remove your chains and not force you to watch the final. |  |

Prince William or Rishi Sunak wont go to the WWC final on 13:58 - Aug 18 by blueasfook | So you don't think the President of the FA should be there at a World Cup Final? As i said in my OP, you can guarantee he'd be there if it was the Men's WC. |
I imagine he would but I don’t understand why that’s the benchmark? You’re suggesting that his absence means the fa isn’t interested in promoting women’s football which is clearly not true. [Post edited 18 Aug 2023 20:41]

Not from what I have seen. No desire to give him any credit but he does seem a genuine Southampton fan who takes an active interest. |  |

That’s where your wrong i’m very aware of many joys in this world many places visited and many not but i’m aware of things that interest me and i know what i enjoy and what i don’t and therefore woman’s football is not one of the joys i like to watch. Wannabe men does not interest me watching womens football is not it’s not on par with under 16s local football in my eyes. But thanks for trying to open my mind.lol |  | |  |

Why it’s not all about taking freebees being free loader if it doesn’t interest the person why waste your time i’d rather pay for something i liked rather than be given something i don’t. No brainer for the average being. Think you would be the idiot freeloader. [Post edited 18 Aug 2023 23:39]

I was thinking more the free VIP trip to Australia. Have you ever flown Business or Upper Class? If you were turning that down, even if there was a football match you didn't fancy at the end of it, you'd be bonkers in the nut mate. |  |

Prince William or Rishi Sunak wont go to the WWC final on 16:34 - Aug 18 by Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | Going to the other side of the world for a football match because of emissions is now impractical? This is the new language that’s going to get thrown around aplenty isn’t it. I’m sure it would be many people’s dream to limit who can fly where and when, you can see the taste for it already after lockdowns. Makes me laugh that the likes of Gary Lineker never shuts up about it when he is on a 7 figure salary from an industry that has one of the biggest carbon footprints in the world. By 2050 aviation will contribute to 0.1C of warming, if aviation was a country it wouldn’t even be in the top 5 in terms of emission. Technology improving all the time as well. |
Before you jump on me, this isn't an anti-aviation post, aviation is clearly vital in the modern world for a number of reasons and will continue to be so going forward. It more a post that the way you've framed the warming metric for aviation could be confusing (I am sure this is unintentionally btw): "By 2050 aviation will contribute to 0.1C of warming, if aviation was a country it wouldn’t even be in the top 5 in terms of emission. Technology improving all the time as well." Using 0.1C as the metric for emissions contributions is hard for people to frame because it's not a universal scale, it's based on having to know what the overall level of warming will be in 2050. In order to give it meaning to people you probably need to scale it to the percentage of the global temperature increase in 2050. The expected level of warming for 2050 is 1.5C so given this the contributions to that overall level of warming from aviation are ~7%. With regards to aviation as a country not being in the top 5 emitters, that is almost certainly going to be correct for 2050. As it stands, aviation as a country would be the worlds 6th most emitting country, just ahead of Germany and behind Japan. However that is based on CO2 emissions at ground level, when you take into account "effective radiative forcing" associated with aircraft emissions being made at higher altitudes the contribution to warming increases to 3.5%, just ahead of Japan and behind Russia. To be honest it's hard to predict exactly what the emissions will look like in 2050, bullish predictions see a big decrease, others an increase. It's all dependent on political and public will over the next 25 years. SB |  | |  |
