George Monbiot is advertising a speaking tour with a poster of himself as a boxer about to hit somebody.

This is the man who said:
There was one proposal in Sir Rod Eddington's report to the Treasury with which, when I first read it, I wholeheartedly agreed. He insists that "the transport sector, including aviation, should meet its full environmental costs".

Reading on, I realised that this is not exactly what he had in mind.
He says this was ironical.
