AIRLINES WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX THEIR POLLUTION PROBLEM. IT’S JUST GETTING WORSE

Hundreds of millions of new passengers are coming, and there’s no solution in
sight.

Environmental activists recoil for a reason when the super-rich fly private
jets to forums that preach carbon neutrality. Airplane pollution levels really
are going through the stratosphere and nobody seems to have a viable plan to
rein them in.

While energy generation and agriculture currently dwarf aviation’s 1.3 percent
share of all human-caused greenhouse gases, emissions from air travel are
accelerating many times faster. That puts the industry on track to become the
single biggest emitter of carbon dioxide within three decades if the predicted
cuts in other sectors materialize, data and projections from UN agencies show.
