Flying is something we take for granted but all those business trips and holidays are contributing to global warming. This film looks at the new laws being put forward by the EU to cut the amount of CO2 produced by air travel and hears what scientists and those involved in the flying business have to say.

I agree. The European transport commission should have the money and the means to build out extensive high speed rail, or if it's found economically feasible, even maglev. Instead we have a situation where we have to wait for the planets and political climates to align just to build a small stretch which isn't even planned from an European perspective.

New Boeing 787 Dreamliner is more fuel efficient than its competitors and produces 20% less CO2.
This could couse Airbus some problems with sales when CO2 trading starts.

Yeah, but the 787 does not hold as many passengers as the A380 - even when factoring the A380's lowest density seating configuration. A 20% saving on CO2 will not account for much if the 787 needs to make 2 (or more) trips to transport the same amount of people.Anyhow, the A350 XWB's statistics will certainly supersede the 787's in terms of efficiency and emissions.

Co2, Co2, What about the Contrails, lines of exhaust cloud 8-12km up, that spread to form a blanket of frozen reflective acid-rain cirrus (contrail-cirrus) that traps the suns heat and by its physical presence will obviously change the climate and weather below it.

The film is fiction and propaganda.
The reality is that the EU has enforced liberalisation promoting more and cheaper flights increasing aviation to a totally unsustainable level. On their own website, the EU even advertises that the Union have caused cheaper plane tickets. But not that it has caused increased pollution.
It is no coincidence that the EU, USA and USSR have the U in common.

Well it's good to see that the Eu is taking action on the subject, and not just ignoring it like so many others. But isn't it the Eu that's promoting cheaper plane tickets?

Amen and Amen, for years I have tried to explain to my head-in-the-sand friends that we aren't just trying to save the planet, we are ultimately trying to save ourselves. It is critically important not to wait for governments to get behind it, it is the individuals. Ride a bus, start a compost bin, buy used, buy less.

In 2012 TGV will run at 360km/h (225mph) and Siemens/Bombardier ICE is already running at 350km/h. If you take a look to the projects in EU the rail grid is under construction.. but it can't be made in 1 month.
Anyway air traffic can't be replaced for long distance or trans-oceanic flights (EU-USA-Asia-Australia-Africa). The A380 will be stretched for 1000pax and bigger versions are possible. This will increase efficency. Boeing will certainly do something on its own. Things are going on ;-)

And if you have no insurance you pay more then if you had any, the whole reason people dont have it is because they cant afford it, it competes with your damn mortgage payment
