World's wealthiest 'at heart of climate problem

I've read an aricle in BBC called "World's wealthiest 'at heart of climate problem" by Roger Harrabin. It was about problem of carbon emission in the world, but mainly among wealthy people. The raport
from the UK-based Cambridge Sustainability Commission on Scaling Behaviour Change says that1% of wealhy people produce two times more carbon than 50% poor people. 

It's the global problem. One of solutions by the author is to deter frequent flying and the use of SUVs and to persuade the wealthy to insulate their homes well. He also said, that implementing new "clean" technologies, will be more successful, than implementing hefty penalties or lifestyle restrictions.

Wealthy people have completly different lifestyle, than poorer people. in my opinion it will be hard to change their everyday life, because they are accustomed to a good conditions in everything they have and they do. The problem can be solve only if they want to cooperate with others. In other case nothing can help.

    On top of that, rich people are often arrogant and act with impunity. They feel no one can tell them what to do. So the problem is real.

The largest airport in the world

  First we need to estabilish our criteria.  The largest airport in the world in terms of international passenger traffic is Dubai International Airport.  It is the seat of one of the world's most luxurious airlines - Emirates. Dedicated for use by this Airline, Terminal 3 increased Dubai International’s total capacity by 43 million passengers per year. The airport is not small in terms of the area either; it spreads over an area of 2,900 hectares. In total, it has 3 terminals, however Terminal 3 in Dubai International airport is the second-largest building in the world by floor space and the largest airport terminal in the world. With 88 million passengers, 2.65 million tons of cargo, and 409,493 aircraft movements in 2017, it is the world's busiest airport by international passenger traffic and has been so for four consecutive years. Dubai International airport is also the sixth-busiest cargo airport in the world. https://www.oxfordsaudia.com/en/blog/largest-airport-wor...

Smuggling at the airports

 Smuggling is a common issue in the world.  People try to use planes to quickly and efficiently transport goods to their destination.  This is often ineffective because nowadays airports have machines capable of detecting illegal substances and drugs.  However, not only such substances are smuggled in.  People are capable of trying to smuggle live animals.  Drugs are the most common case.  If the smuggling is successful, the person who did it will earn a lot of money.  It is not always caught, so people do not resist doing such scams more often.  However, if caught, they could end up behind bars for many years.

‘CONCORDE PRICING’ AS BRITISH AIRWAYS STRUGGLES TO MAINTAIN HEATHROW FLIGHT SCHEDULES

  I’ve read an article in Independent called “‘CONCORDE PRICING’ AS BRITISH AIRWAYS STRUGGLES TO MAINTAIN HEATHROW FLIGHT SCHEDULES” by Simon Calder. It was about how the airline British Airways increased the prices of flights until the Easter Monday and canceled some of them. Probably it’s not because of some financial crisis but because of no ability to carry out the flights. The high prices aims at reducing buying tickets and potential numer of passengers affected by cancellations. The prices are higher than prices for Concord flights on the route:London-New York (Concord was the fastest, long distance airplane, but since 2003 it has not flown). In my opinion British Airways shouldn’t working like that. If they are not able to realize the flight, they should canceled it. It will be easier for everyone, because they haven’t to change their flights. They will buy ticket from other airline.  https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-airways-flight-cancelled-...
