While the demented Miliband creature continues his attempts to destroy the UK, the rest of the world stick its fingers up at him:

The worldwide number of passenger jets will double to 50,000 planes over the next 20 years as more people embrace flying in defiance of climate campaigners, according to a Boeing forecast.
Soaring passenger numbers will require 1,600 more jets than the US manufacturer estimated a year ago, it said in its latest update, as demand for travel outpaces economic growth.
The retirement of older planes, which emit more CO2, has also slowed to half the usual rate as supply-chain issues limit new deliveries, while average fuel consumption has increased.
Meanwhile, planes are expected to continue flying only 80pc full for the foreseeable future, while the process of squeezing more seats on to each jet is expected to slow.
Boeing’s forecast is a challenge to the so-called flight-shaming movement, which has been encouraging holidaymakers to shun air travel for the sake of the planet.
While the airline industry has committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050, fuel produced from waste cooking oil, seen as key to slashing CO2 output until the advent of new technologies, is costly and available only in very low volumes.
In a further blow to the climate lobby, Boeing also cited an analysis of multiple passenger surveys as indicating that the majority of people plan to take more trips and spend more on them.

It does not take a genius to work out that as people around the world get richer, they will spend their riches on things like holidays, cars and other luxuries, whether the doom-mongers like it or not.
That is why the ultimate goal of Miliband and his eco chums is to make everybody poorer.
