If that is so, then why let market forces dictate the travel requirememt?
Is it going to effect private aircraft as well? Are the rich and famous going to have walk into Gard de Nord and sit next me on the train?

FYI, the electricity that is required to run the trains, is NOT generated by trees, or thin air. It comes from a power plant that emits CO2! This is where the electric car argument falls apart, when examined more closely.
Pointing the finger at the aviation industry for carbon emissions is just political grandstanding to appeal to the uneducated masses. Aviation would have to be one of the most innovative industries in the world. Except when the SID or STAR goes over some rich pr!cks house. Then we need to divert the procedure to avoid their sensitive ears.

Someone at some stage needs to stand up to this lunatic agenda

edit: HA! I see LHR-CDG would fall within the time limit. Of course exempt as it is an international flight. How convenient, and what perfect example of how idiotic, and ineffectual the policy will be.
