Oh, and forget the CO2 thing.
We're living in the Holocene interglacial period. In the last 750,000 years, there have been at least 8 'glacial-cycles', probably as many as 20 during the Pleistocene, the last 2.5 million years. There are at least 5 such global 'glaciations' in The Earth's history.
It is, therefore, hardly surprising that climate is changing, driven by forces over which we have little control, if any. Reducing CO2 by 10% per-flight will matter not one Iota, especially when RLat and RLong initiatives are designed to accommodate at least 30% more a/c on the OTS.
During the 20 Pleistocene glacials, the thickness of ice on the U.K. landmass often extended above present 'transition-altitudes'.
You might as well try and stop the San Andreas Fault from moving.........And if you're still not convinced, go and have a look at the rocks that form The Giant's Causeway and The Antrim Plateau, adjacent to EGAA and EGAC. They're related to the 'opening' of The Atlantic Ocean, as was the aeronautical circus that took place in Europe, exactly 6 years ago.
