The EU is hypocritical. European Commission and European Parliament officials fly all the time. The Strasbourg-Brussels commute creates more carbon than some small countries

In 2012 TGV will run at 360km/h (225mph) and Siemens/Bombardier ICE is already running at 350km/h. If you take a look to the projects in EU the rail grid is under construction.. but it can't be made in 1 month.
Anyway air traffic can't be replaced for long distance or trans-oceanic flights (EU-USA-Asia-Australia-Africa). The A380 will be stretched for 1000pax and bigger versions are possible. This will increase efficency. Boeing will certainly do something on its own. Things are going on ;-)

I've seen the movie, one proffesor from my university recommended it to the students. It's amazing!

Amen and Amen, for years I have tried to explain to my head-in-the-sand friends that we aren't just trying to save the planet, we are ultimately trying to save ourselves. It is critically important not to wait for governments to get behind it, it is the individuals. Ride a bus, start a compost bin, buy used, buy less.

Well it's good to see that the Eu is taking action on the subject, and not just ignoring it like so many others. But isn't it the Eu that's promoting cheaper plane tickets?

The film is fiction and propaganda.
The reality is that the EU has enforced liberalisation promoting more and cheaper flights increasing aviation to a totally unsustainable level. On their own website, the EU even advertises that the Union have caused cheaper plane tickets. But not that it has caused increased pollution.
It is no coincidence that the EU, USA and USSR have the U in common.

Co2, Co2, What about the Contrails, lines of exhaust cloud 8-12km up, that spread to form a blanket of frozen reflective acid-rain cirrus (contrail-cirrus) that traps the suns heat and by its physical presence will obviously change the climate and weather below it. |
