Well, according to this morning's ROB the EU is planning to make airlines "take responsibility for their CO2 emissions" and hopes to make them pay for their part in global warming. While not covered as part of the Kyoto Protocol, European environmental activists are pressing for such a levy which, according to the article, could add another C$100 to the cost of a longhaul trip to Europe. On a short-haul intra-Europe flight, the tab might be C$20. However, under international law, this charge could only be forced on EU-based carriers
