UK think-tank wants health warnings on flights

Advertisements for flights should carry warning messages to remind people of the global warming crisis, a leading British think-tank said on Thursday.

The Institute for Public Policy Research said such health warnings would make people think twice about the impact their journey would have on the environment.

"The evidence that aviation damages the atmosphere is just as clear as the evidence that smoking kills," IPPR climate change chief Simon Retallack said.

"We know that smokers notice health warnings on cigarettes, and we have to tackle our addiction to flying in the same way," he added, calling for clearly visible warnings such as "flying causes climate change".
