Free to pollute

Just when it looked like we might be getting somewhere the United States and the European Union have agreed the so-called "Open Skies" agreement. Good news? If you're an American airline - yes. If you are someone who cares a bit about the planet you might be worried about the projected 50% increase in trans-Atlantic travel this might engender and its knock on effect on CO2 levels.

Sigh.
