Is a synopsis of a link so much to ask?

At least a NSFW warning would be nice.
I'll watch it when I get home. 😉

But canned whipped cream has one nasty ingredient: nitrous oxide. Turns out, nitrous oxide is 300 times worse for the environment than CO2 and once it leaves your whipped cream can, it hangs out in the atmosphere for 120 years.

Magically quadrupling the volume of cream in a single squirt, nitrous oxide also goes by a few other names. Laughing gas, whippets, and a potent greenhouse gas.

two cans of whipped cream have a carbon footprint of 8.7 kg CO2e. For comparison, switching from plastic grocery bags to reusable ones saves 5 kg CO2e a year.

Whipped cream tastes better than a 747

Seeing 'Belgium' and 'Cream Pie' in the same story made me think this was one of Noel Godin's hits. But his would have been funnier and he'd made a bit more of an effort with the patisserie. Nothing out of a can.

I mean look at the man - what else could he do with his time, his life even, other than amass an army of followers and chuck cream cakes in the faces of the political and cultural elite.

Can we come down and attack your kids or wife in a similar fashion and see you laugh about it?

I can't see it putting a dent in RyanAirs profiteroles

Although it might encourage people to reduce their air millefeuilles

O'Leary has said he wants to see them publicly whipped. Now to my mind, that's eclair threat of violence and he should be warned off.

Maybe they whipped the cream manually using an old fashioned mechanical whisk.

Waiting to see someone doing something about the hundreds of NOX cartridges littering towns and cities by kids getting off their faces. The climate issues caused has got to be greater than the amount of whipped cream being dispensed by those containers.
Then there’s all the cafes, coffee shops, restaurants etc, etc, etc…

I imagine more cyclists use CO2 cartridges than kids use NOX ones. And we’re no angels for picking them up either.

Perhaps we should go back to use good old fashioned pumps, rather than dumping a key greenhouse gas into our tyres simply because we’re a bit lazy.

Staged to bring climate protest into disrepute? He's well know for publicity stunts. His business model is built on them, to quote him:

"Short of murder bad publicity sells more seats"

Edit to add:
<h4><b>Do you think the Ryanair brand can survive on publicity stunts and press coverage alone?</b></h4>
O'Leary: Well I have 29 years of evidence suggesting that it can. [Richard] Branson has been doing it for years.

As long you run around generating noise, which is now easier because you’ve got all these halfwits on social media ranting and raving, inventing stories, it drives people on to our website. And we don’t spend €50m or €100m on marketing companies to do it.

Have you been in a city centre. My cycle in past clubs/pubs is treacherous with these pebbley little bastards littering the road! The big canisters dumped all over. It's insane.

You should see what a few people with CO2 pistols or rifles can get through.

Not as much as a pub mind.
