For sure air travel is to cheap and too easy.
Example:
When I flew to Houston USA in April 1973 the return open ticket, in economy using a discounted student rate it cost £120.00.
Today that would be £1416!
The actual air fare today on BA is £706.00, so half the price in real terms.
The EU states that a flight with 88 people on it releases 285gm CO2 per passenger Km. That is the same as Tarka!!
But I don't drive as many miles as I fly.
According to BA I've flown 670,000km with them over the last 20 years. With other flights let's say 1.34m km.
That is a lot of CO2, about 382 million gm....
And that is jut me, on flights. Add in cars, trains and boats...No, lets not.
