Ryanair ranked among Europe’s top carbon emitters

        April 1, 2019 The Irish Times | Europe | fossil fuels: emissions

Irish airline Ryanair is one of Europe’s top 10 carbon emitters, the first non coal-fired power plant so named. Airline emissions are especially bad, yet Ryanair’s emissions increased by 6.9% in 2018, prompting some to call airlines "the new coal." Its CEO has previously dismissed the impact of climate change as "complete and utter rubbish."
