As quoted by PropPax "nuff said".
Global aviation is responsible for between 3 and 6% of total CO2 emissions. Depending on who's stats you believe. The UK is responsible for a tiny fraction of that. ER could shut down the entire UK aviation sector and it would make not one jot of difference to the problem of climate change.
I find it strange that no one seems to be worried about commercial shipping. They don'y even have a plan to reduce their emissions never mind measure them.
Funny that.
I fully accept that we as a species need to reduce our pollution (of all types) but targeting the most efficient sector first seems idiotic. its the heavy industry and surface transport that needs sorting first.
