Guardian: It's long been a mantra among green-minded folk that greatly reducing - or even cutting out altogether - flights is an important step towards leading a carbon-lite lifestyle. After all, aviation is the fast-growing source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, as well as being the most polluting form of transport per passenger kilometre travelled. I have, quite literally, written a whole book on the subject. But this has always been a hard sell. The modern era of "cheap" flights has rapidly allowed...

Why flying could produce less carbon than taking the bus

Installing energy efficient lightbulbs is also "carbon neutral". In contrast insulating your home, driving less and eating less meat will all reduce the amount of global greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming. Dr Grischa Perino,...
NASA works out how to build large, commercial flying wing that uses half the fuel of normal aircraft
