Anyone else see a disconnect here?

The enviro-whackos are having a major coniption over this:
A major airline is under fire from environmentalists for flying an aircraft across the Atlantic with only five passengers on board.

It led to American Airlines being accused of reckless behaviour by green lobby groups.

The latest "eco- scandal" flight took place on February 9 after American was forced to cancel one of its four daily services from Chicago to London.

While it was able to find places for nearly all the passengers on the fully-booked flight, five still had to be accommodated. Those who did fly were upgraded to the business class cabin.

But while they enjoyed lavish hospitality, the airline was accused of an "obscene waste of fuel" by Friends of the Earth.

Will somebody, somewhere, find these idiots and slap them upside the head? So, a commercial airline, in order to keep their customers happy, books an extra flight so that they can get to their destination in a timely manner, and these complete and utter morons wail and gnash their teeth over it?

Where the hell were the "Friends of the Earth" [Planet Earth to 'Friends of the Earth': "Get the hell off my team!!] when Algore flies his own ass all across the globe, wasting obscene amounts of fuel, instead of flying commercial with the rest of the plebeians?

Yeah, I know. Algore is special. Riding in coach next to a snoring 400-pound sumo-wrestler is for the little people. Not for them.

If brains were energy, these vile ignoramuses couldn't drive a piss-ant's hybrid car half-way around a bee-bee. But if chutzpah were energy, they'd power us into the next century and beyond.
