Under pressure from frequent flyers alarmed over climate change, the airline industry says it is “hellbent” on reducing emissions but the technology needed to drastically reduce its carbon footprint is still out of reach.
Road transportation follows at 158 and rail travel is at 14, according to European Environment Agency figures. But aircraft also emit particles such as nitrogen oxides, which can trap heat at high altitude, meaning the industry is actually responsible for 5% of global warming, according to the Climate Action Network, an umbrella group of environmental NGOs.
Philippe Plouvier, associate director of consulting firm Boston Consulting Group in Paris, said “the constant renewal of the fleet is a major part of it ”, explaining that the latest models of large aircraft reduce CO2 by 20 to 25%.
Its a very selective argumentation article. Why not emphasize the carbon emissions on the culprit like the online businesses......just think about the carbon footprints from the supply chain, the single use plastics and etc. Dont always be selective, be a true champion !
Then how to travel long distances? Cycle? Fxxking stupid
