Presumably you also feel that those industries that currently have a tax advantage over aviation should be left alone to enjoy that advantage. Is that right?
What on earth gives you that idea? - I said completely the opposite - ie level the playing field; Stop picking on the EU airline industry and start taxing other major polluters which are virtually untaxed eg shipping, non-EU airlines (some chance), etc, etc. (My second paragraph refers to fuel taxation rates between countries, not between industries)
So on the second point; yes, I do think government action will have a very minimal effect on the amount of fossil fuels burnt worldwide in the next 100 years. Sad, but true.
