Aviation Emissions Higher Than Refineries Or Steel Plants

Aircraft produce about 3% of EU CO2 emissions - more than refineries or steel plants

Aviation emissions, since 1990, have gone up about 90% and, by 2020, they are going to be doubled, if business continues as usual.

International experts say aviation will account for 5% of total warming in 2050
