A Day in the Life Over the World

Only 5% of the world population has been on a flight in his or her life. Airlines do not pay any sales-taxes, there is no tax on kerosine or any emission fees or reduction guidelines. The Airline industry is responsible for about 5-10% of all Co2 emissions. Scientists state that if the growth-rates of flights will be constant and emission-reduction of other industries will continue until 2050 (60% reduction until 2050), the airline industry will be responsible for about 80-95% of all C02 emissions. The airline-lobby IATA is pushing very hard to keep the airline industry out of climate-change discussions. Because they know that what is happening right know may be called Global injustice. Take a look at this clip and you will know who the 5% of “flying population” are.
