Letter: Military emissions

Published 6 November 2013

From Brian Robinson

The good news in the article on reducing airline greenhouse gas emissions (12 October, p 6) relates exclusively to commercial air transport. Unless its impact is negligible, which I doubt, military air transport must be included in the equation. NATO usage is heavy, and war zones must also be causing damage.
