    Birdwatchers' world record bid (BBC News)

    I'm planning a world-wide trip, visiting all continents on coal-fired Aeroflot, but coming back through Heathrow every weekend to feed my caged Willow Tit, in which I'll be twitching all known species, getting as uncomfortably close to them as possible in order to photograph them, then ringing...

    I'm voicing my opinion, not telling anyone else to be quiet and not voice theirs. Freedom of speech and all that.

    Keep quiet then! Tsk, these self-appointed moderators...

    Yeah, it's fine as long as you think that "building up a world list" is a good reason for 2 conservationists to be doing all those flights. None of the climate groups thinks it would be, I'll wager. And you could pay for the cloudforest without them doing it. Why does it take 2 twitchers for you...

    Is it? Then maybe they shouldn't court publicity and donations? It's a bit of a cheek to spend all your cash on CO2 and global twitching while asking others to stump up the donations for the rainforests to make it look like you're doing it for charidy. Their own money is going on kerosene. They...

    I don't think it's exciting. I think it's a trivial goal.

    I use easyJet, but then I'm easily swayed by advertising. Poeciles have tiny brains.

    You should ask them if the RSPB, their former employer, is supporting them. Because they are uncharacteristically quiet on this one.

    So, again, why not just donate the money to preserve the rainforests? We're being told time and again that we must act now, change our behaviour, cut carbon emissions and limit worldwide travel to necessities and not luxuries, especially flights. If you book a ticket, you're adding to the...

    But if they're so interested in the rainforests, rather than the pointless exercise of ticks on a list, why not sell everything and just give it to the rainforests? Drop the trip, and the charity gets the money (arguably more than they'll raise in this exercise, seeing as the trip wont have to...
