Warmist Richard Branson doesn't favor "green" taxes that may harm his airline business?!

Air Passenger Duty rise: Tax increase slammed by travel companies | Mail Online
Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic airline warned that the rises will make family holidays ‘unaffordable for many’.

British Airways chief executive Willie Walsh has branded APD a ‘disgrace’, while organisations from Ryanair to package holiday firms to the Association of British Travel Agents have lined up to condemn it. APD was initially introduced as a ‘green tax’ on the basis it would discourage people from flying and cut carbon emissions.
