You will not be able to achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction target

The British government will have to reduce air traffic traffic if it does not want to violate its own set of targets to reduce 60% of carbon dioxide emissions causing greenhouse effect by 2050.

According to the study, by 2050 alone, the amount of CO2 emitted from aircraft in the UK will increase by 4-10 times compared to the level of 1990, accounting for two-thirds of the total amount of emissions this country set for there. However, up to now, England has not only taken any measures to reduce the above emissions but continues to promote aviation development to double the number of passengers from 200 million to 470 million people / year in 2030.

If the UK does not limit the pace of aviation development, the country will not be able to meet its climate change commitments, Bren-Bo Bo-dmen of the university said. Currently, most scientists believe that the average temperature of Earth will increase from 2 to 6 degrees Celsius by the end of this century mainly due to greenhouse gases.

According to scientists, this is also the cause of the phenomenon of more and more plants and animals disappear. In addition, weather phenomena such as storms, droughts, floods or polar ice melts are also a threat to millions of other lives.

According to scientists, the Kyoto Protocol has so far been the only global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but its ambitions are still very limited.
