I posted on this forum with reference to the UK proposals to add further tax to air tickets.

I did this in the expectation that there may be a spectrum of technical or scientific knowledge on this forum which could discuss the realities and accuracies of the claimed basis for this tax.

The tax is supposedly based on a measure of environmental damage which has been able to be itemised and costed in money terms, proportioned and and passed on to airline passengers via ticketing.

I note from the link given in a previous post that the study is preambled as a limited study dated Nov02 yet a mere 4 months later a tax is being discussed on the basis of this limited study.
