Rationing air flights???
Is this coming to North America???
Lord Turner, the chairman of the Committee on Climate Change, said people would be given personal flight limits to lower pollution from the aviation industry.
"We will have to constrain demand in an absolute sense, with people not allowed to make as many journeys as they could in an unconstrained manner," he told the Commons environmental audit committee.
Lord Turner, whose committee is investigating whether the air industry can meet a target of reducing emissions to below 2005 levels by 2050, said the restriction may need to become permanent.
He added: "It is at least possible that we will come back and say, 'Given the technological position ... we think this is doable with the first flight allocation but we think the second allocation may prove undoable'."
The comments echo a suggestion made two years ago by Tim Yeo, a Conservative MP and the chairman of the environment audit committee.
He said there was "no reason at all why people should fly around the UK" and that domestic flights should be taxed almost out of existence.

Where do they dig up these morons that populate all these various climate control panels? Surely they must scour the scholastic records to find those with the lowest IQs.
This clown would throw thousands out of work in the domestic airline industry. He would relegate thousands more, in the aircraft manufacturing and supply industries, onto the wefare roles. He would drive thousnads more onto the highways in vehicles that, on a passenger mile basis, create more pollution than do aircraft.
This doofuss should be the poster boy for the warmist idiots.
Yup, you can call it the Neo-Berlin Wall. It's being quietly built one brick at a time.
The Global Warming farce is just another front in the never ending Class War. It's another way for the scum bag, human worshipping, supremacist's to suppress and control people.
Blame Crash
Of course, we should also make sure that the passengers recieve visa's before they're allowed to board an airplane and travel. Remember, it's in the State's...err...Environment's best interests to keeps its citizens...of the world...ignorant and isolated...I mean...happy and joyful.
Welcome to the United Socialist States of America (USSA).
Modern Movement has organised a demonstration in favour of more flights for all:
Support Airport Expansion: Thursday 19 February, 17.30 -19.30 on Parliament Square, East Footway, London
For more details, see: http://www.modernmovement.org.uk/index.php
“The extension of flying to millions of people has been a liberation. Most of us can now afford to go on holiday and welcome the cheapening of air travel allowing us to fly abroad. The development of aviation infrastructure is crucial to allow ever more people to fly.
Join us in front of Parliament to argue for guilt-free travel, for ever-cheaper flights and for freedom of movement.”
