UK government plan to cut Britain's carbon emissions but no plan for transport!

Startling revelation to come a propos of looking at the impacts of flying.

the government should factor in the environmental impact of its transport policies - something the MPs were surprised to find is not happening. There is an ambitious overall target to cut Britain's carbon emissions by 60 per cent before 2050, but no specific plan for transport - which is the biggest emissions culprit and shows every sign of getting worse.

The flying thing really does need looking at; it is ridiculous that it should be cheaper to fly between British destinations than to take the train, but in many circumstances it is.
