implemented in order to reduce carbon emissions from aviation, the UK government's climate advisory body has said in a new report.
"Flying is a uniquely high-impact activity and is the quickest and cheapest way for a consumer to increase their carbon footprint," the report says.Air miles programs encourage people to take extra flights to keep up their"privileged traveler status" and should be banned, according to the report." are a common way for travelers to top up their points in order to maintain access to perks such as priority boarding.
The levy would also encourage short-haul flights rather than more damaging long-haul flights, shift demand from planes to trains, and raise money that could be used to fund research into low-carbon aviation technology, the report said.
Approximately 2-6% of total global carbon emissions is estimated to be from commercial aviation.
Yes, that's the reason, carbon emossoons.
no
But this completely ignores the fact that the vast majority of the damage is done by corporations and once again shifts the blame back onto individuals to shame them for their small (but of course still important to minimize) contribution to climate change

Lipstick on a pig.
Holy shit! Communism and socialism at its best WTF is going on?
And the conditions to ACTIVATE the SOLE power is to PROVE high crime or misdemeanor was done . It’s SUCH as in REAL &THE ONLY REAL CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS of MASS PROPORTIONS to land in our laps in 200 years or better - the Scotus is GOING TO HAVE TO DEFINE OR APPLY ITS ITENT
Why do they think people who fly are in non doing it for vacations? If a job requires it why should I be penalized for it?
They should just advise the climate and stop trying to advise the citizenry.

I totally agree. We need to cut air traffic by at least 50% if our children are going to have any kind of future. I'm so sick of people putting themselves in front of future generations. Sickening.
