Naughty, naughty capitalist airlines...

'The unacceptable/irresponsible face of capitalism' - Environment Minister Ian Pearson in some pretty strong criticism of airlines and climate change.

Pushing airlines into a lax European emissions trading system, however, which is what the Government proposes, probably doesn't go anywhere near far enough. The criticism is timely, although it shouldn't detract from the wider effort on climate change - especially with the rail network.

Sorry there's been such a long break - had some technical problems in the last few days with the blog.
