Do you think that mixed messages is going to help to convey your "cool" ethic? "Hey Jane Doe, change your lightbulbs or the polar bear gets it, but don't worry about flying to the Caribbean, that thing about jets is a just myth" - If you don't know enough to place the report in context then why not someone who does for comment? Kevin Anderson from the Tyndall Centre was on BBC radio for example. Guys, do you really think it serves your “global” interests to uncritically reprint the BALPA press release?

We wouldn't expect pilots to vote themselves out of the sky, but it's a shame they've distributed such a head in the sand so aggressively. Ignore and continue to work with people who do actually want to do something. of course this is a load of self serving nonsense from the aviation industry.

Although they only make up 2% of overall emissions they are closer to the troposphere (upper bit of the atmosphere) and therefore apparently more likely to contribute to warming...
