Similarly, aviation accounts only a small portion of CO2 emissions and there are no apparent alternatives to hydrocarbon fuels for aircraft which do not result in huge tradeoffs. The funds spent on attempting to develop and deploy hydrogen fueled aircraft or some other alternative are very high and there would be tradeoffs in the capabilities and economics of operation. Therefore, it is not wise to invest much effort or funds in such a pursuit.

Hurrah!! Somebody speaking sense about aircraft pollution!!

They got the title wrong. It should be:

"You know that Global Warming calls for radical change in energy production and consumption and I know that Global Warming calls for radical change in energy production and consumption but we're all selfish capitalist bastards who love our cars and foreign holidays so here are several thousand words of specious corporate-inspired doubletalk to make us feel better about ourselves."

Exceptionally well said! I couldnt string a coherent sentence after reading that, so much in my head screaming to come out, I just couldn't sort it into ordered phrases that would show just how, self centered, selfish and uncaring for the rest of the planet that load of nuke headed morons are.

no matter what we do to REDUCE carbon emissions, We are never going to stop it. We are just putting the inevitable off.
Mother Nature has a way of dealing with mankind's abusive behaviour. We on the other hand have the ability to adapt, and we will, what ever she throws at us.
Things change for good or bad. The status quo is never maintained.
To adapt is to change, and that must be good.

What points do you disagree with Relic?
