Aviation – Greenhouse Gases in Review

Fresh off the press is IATA (International Air Transport Association) much anticipated Global Greenhouses gas emissions chart which shows how much various parts of the global economy generate of all the greenhouse gases. A great piece of research to focus our minds.
