MtnGoat Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 (edited) A royal commission on pollution in the UK is recommending a tax on airline flights and ending airport expansion to limit air travel. This is in keeping with the UN's climate folks reporting that air travel is endangering the earths climate. So while you're glaring at SUV's on the road, don't forget to do your part and stop flying. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,850910,00.html Edited December 4, 2002 by MtnGoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobBob Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I guess the next time we have a worldwide cold-weather cycle, we will subsidize the airline industry to build more planes and fly them. Here's to the next bolide strike...may it hit the middle east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MntnrMichael Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 With talk about United going under, it looks like the companies dealing with flight/planes are just trying to survive. I do not think we need to tell them to slow down; the economy is doing that very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
