It's no good sticking our heads in the sand Rainboe. The fact is our industry is under attack from the green lobby and we need to fight back with facts not hearsay. It is powerstations, houses, businesses and cars that produce more emissions than aviation worldwide. Newsnight researchers believe UK households can reduce their carbon footprint by 20% without too many changes. That's a lot more than stopping aeroplanes flying around Europe.
Man does contribute to global warming - it is not just volcanoes. How much is debatable. Certain farming methods and timber harvesting has removed much of the natural worlds CO2 absorbers. The BBC's Blue Planet programme ran an interesting post programme show about the changes in the past 5 years let alone millions.
The sahara desert is expanding south at a rate of 1km a year. If we can make a meaningful reduction in man made CO2 emissions and offset the planet's "self made" ones by not chopping down all the forrests, life on earth benefit in the longer term. But to do this means the developed world will have to foot most of the bill. We are the biggest consumers afterall.
By using India and China's growing economy as an excuse for inaction means at the very least, we will not reap the benefits of selling eco technologies to those countries. If we don't care why should they?
