"How to Fry the Climate with a $13 Flight from London to NYC at Oil Change"

To many environmentalists, Michael O’Leary is one of their top hate figures. One of the key proponents of low cost air-travel, the multi-millionaire Irishman has no time for environmentalists – he calls them “eco-nuts” and dismisses concerns over climate change.

With his head firmly stuck in the sands of climate scepticism, he argues that the jury is still out on global warming.

He has dismissed those who argue that flying is a serious and growing source of global warming and that people should stop flying or at least make it more expensive. In contrast, instead of making flying more expensive, O’Leary plans to make it cheaper and cheaper.
