- Aviation produces 4% of the UK's CO2 and 2% of the world's CO2
- China alone produces 100 times the CO2 of the UK
- Last year China increased CO2 production by 6%
Climate change is a result of
- population growth
- industrialisation of the far east
- deforestation, often due to corruption
Banning aviation, like banning CO2 in the UK, produces nothing but economic hell, poverty and suffering. Even if we stopped all CO2 production in the UK tomorrow, China would take under three months to make up the 'loss'
The only answers are investment in technology by the West which is then used by / sold to the far east, reducing population growth and managing corruption. If the EU cant even stop its own members such as Germany and Poland ramping up coal burning then there is little hope.
