Image: Driving to our doom? The Contradiction of Flying http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/75095 from Oil Change: Either countries reduce aircraft travel or they will not be able to reduce their carbon emissions. There is no technical fix. Image: Too many of these Trains better than planes http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/73942 from ecostreet blog: We probably all know that but here's some real evidence. To offset or not: a question for our times http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/73710 from Treehugger blog: A British travel company is now planting a tree for every flight booking it takes. Carbon offsets: the great debate http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/73655 from Climate Change Action blog: People running forestry offsets are 'well intentioned but, in my opinion, misguided'.

The Myth of Cheap Flights http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/69572 From Grownupgreen: MYTH: We can meet our international obligations on climate change and still have unrestrained growth in aviation and airports FALSE! Aviation is the UK’s fastest growing source of CO2 emissions and by 2010 the increase in emissions from aviation would wipe out the Government’s Kyoto and domestic reductions programme. (House of Commons Environment Audit Committee) Carbon Compensation http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotolink/addhit/69126 Tom Dyson's blog: I've attempted to compensate for the carbon emissions resulting from our recent flights to Greece and Denmark by funding a proportionate amount to sustainable energy and reforestation projects. I used an Oxford-based organisation called Climate Care, recommended by Nick, who neutralised the carbon output of his stag weekend to Barcelona, G8-style.
