Answer 1

Low-cost flights may mean you can go away with some nice for the same price as it costs to stay at home, but there is another side to the story. Every time somebody takes a return flights from London to New York, they produce about 1.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide. You can't travel anywhere by plane without contributing to global warming.

    So, can something be done to solve the problem? Currently. govermments seem to be doing next to nothing to control the carbon emissions from aircraft. Nobody has managed to discover an alternative fuel to kerosene. The damage airlines do to society through climate change is not something that is easy to calculate in financial terms. And relying on individuals to limit the flights they take is also not answer. There isn't anybody who would choose a train over a plane when they have to travel over 1,000 km to a business meeting or a family wedding.

    One thing is clear. If the issue of aircraft carbon emissions is not addressed properly, there will soon be nowhere to fly to.
