520 |a "Fly and Be Damned calls for a fundamental change to our travelling habits. Going beyond the well-known facts about the unsustainable nature of the aviation industry, this is the first book to transcend the emotional debate between those entrenched for or against flying. Aviation, it argues, is locked in a stalemate between misguided policy and the imperative to deal with its environmental impact. There is now little possibility that the route to sustainable flying will be free of turbulence."--Back cover.
