Global Warming - Not much help here
You're asking me to do what!...
Susie Boniface reports in the U.K.'s Sunday Mirror:
"Celebrities, royalty and captains of industry were invited to join a select club which matches their travel needs to those of other VIPs for red carpet events. Just the 78 signed up to the Flight-share Private Members Guild. Aviation experts say around 5,000 empty private jets take to the skies every week to collect high-profile passengers from entertainment events, political summits and sporting fixtures. Paddy Gillett of pressure group Plane Stupid said: 'They seem to be sticking two fingers up by flying as much as they like.'"
