Must say with all the good television on last night - I was happy with my decision to watch this program. I generally take about 2 flights per month, and am glad to have been given a more centered view of the actual emissions footprint of the airline industry.

Organizations like IATA claim they can hit carbon-neutral targets, while activists (such as George Monbiot, who I thought was very good) claim they are full of hogwosh. I think the truth lies within the middle grey area, as it often does - but it's nice to see an issue that affects us all (travel) presented to the masses - especially at this time of year!!! (holliday travel season)

Good insightful TV. It definitely makes you think about the difficult balance we must strike between convenience and preservation.
