Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Reduce EU domestic flights and use the high speed rail network for the short to medium distances.
How is Poland self sufficient? Do we have any oil?
Maybe less traffic so with comparable reserves, you last longer?
I’d bet on good logistics, big processing capacity (planes don’t run on crude oil;)) and diversified sources?
Great news!
Please begin to restrict fuel for private jets, even if it would be symbolic
Edit : thanks for correction
symbolic
Good. The flight industry as it exists today must disapear.
Yes, let billionaires fly and the rest of us should stay on the continent we're born on.
Emissions reductions don't really care from which class they came from.
There is far too much trivial flying for business, and people are flying while avoiding better ways to transport.
There might be better transportation, but it is more costly. Just take germany for example, it is usually a lot more expensive to travel using long-distance trains than it is to travel by airplane. And not forgetting all the stress you get by travelling with the Deutsche Bahn cos their trains are literally only 60% of the time on time. And that's not including cancelled trains, lol.
Lol business people won't care if the costs go up. They already pay extra to be able to sleep on their Intercontinental flights to go drinking "for business".
It'll be you and I who won't be able to go on vacation anywhere that requires crossing a major body of water.
Most flights are short haul flights lasting from 1 to 3 hours. Commersial flights could very well be replaced by highspeed trains.
Changing how commersial flights are done does not mean "lets make it impossible for normal people to fly"

It's always the unexpected things that fight climate change.
Obligatory fuck politico
Remember COVID?
God bless USA and it's president! For starting a real war! Should we starve? Yes we should, as the war not only brings a win, but also money! Thanks Lord for the president you have given us!!! Let's all starve! /S
Eh. My impression is that most civilian air travel is not truly necessary. Tourism, and stuff that can be done with remote work.
I worry about stuff like food prices for the poor. Somebody not being able to fly on vacation - not so much.
I can't build a wind turbine in the middle of the sea with remote work. I need to physically be there and there is usually half way across the planet.
I did say "most". The cheap charter tourism by airplane is what is probably not compatible with net zero carbon, as needed to stop climate change.
If anything, they should limit fuel for private jets first. If we're talking luxury - that's were it is.
Not with some poor old chap squished like a sardine inside a Ryanair flight.
That would do a lot more for the environment and for fuel savings.
I would love to get on a train and arrive well rested into Amsterdam overnight. Unfortunately, we're not there yet. Hopefully this crisis might speed up more efficient means of transport and reduce tax credits for airline fuel.
Nah, they are just gonna subsidize kerosene with tax payer money and call it a day.
I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.
Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.
In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.
That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.
It's Europe, just take the train.
The shitty train service is literally one of the reasons I started flying. Once you travel >300km it's faster, more reliable (at least compared to German trains) and costs about the same.
Yes, very soon. They're building it now.
Excited to report they're finally building Rail Baltica. When it's ready in a decade, perhaps flying will be more expensive than the train finally. Hopefully enough to offset the time lost by taking the train.
Europe isn't all connected to the same rail network even if people online would like you to believe that.

Thanks America and your elected regime for meddling in everyone's lives. You might be shocked to learn your popularity is waning.
The sad (but unsurprising) thing is, whenever you encourage them to actually take a risk and take some kind of collective action to bring down the pedophile, they say "my job, I'm scared" when in the same paragraph, they talk about how they're one paycheck from utter destruction.
They don't realize that they literally have nothing to lose at this point.
Why haven’t you gotten rid of Erdogan and Orban yet?
Came off as abrasive, but your point stands.
Political support for the alt-right is booming across Europe. The last thing you European folks need to do is raise your nose at the American tire fire. Deal with your own, before its too late.
Not my country, I'll deal with the Nazis in mine thank you.
It sounds like USAians expect everyone else to solve their problem.
You literally listed the one thing we have left to lose
