Delta
and Climate Change
Below are extracts of letters between
the
airline company Delta and Peter Shullot
about climate change. The letters in full are at the bottom of the page. This is
one of 65 sets of letters so you can find out what your supermarket, energy
supplier and car manufacturer, and oil companies, airlines, house builders and
other companies really think about climate change. The name Peter Shullot
is made up – it is an anagram of The Polluters.
To
Loren Neuenschwander, Managing Director, Delta –
Well done. You are
America's fastest growing international carrier with more and more routes being
added all the time. I am a regular flier with you, particularly when traveling
with my American business colleagues to Colombia, the Ivory Coast, Panama and
the Cayman Islands. Add Iraq and Afghanistan and I’ll be a very happy man.
I’m concerned about climate change. It looks like your government is the only
one taking a stand against it. Understand me when I say that Peter Shullot is a
man who does not laugh about George Bush. Your brave President has stood up to
the greens, refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol and only made verbal commitments
on the environment which he knows he can never be held to.
As an American company you must look at us across the water with despair. Did
the US save us in the First World War, the Second World War, the Cold war and
nearly start the Third World War only to be imposed with this? Wouldn’t it have
been better to let Hitler and Stalin actually win World War Two?
Later letter to
Loren
Neuenschwander –
So you’re bankrupt! Even though you are
America's fastest growing international carrier.
I hadn’t
realised. There’s no need to reply as obviously you’ve got to sort out the next
job move.
Sadly Delta declined to reply
