Four year-old flies round world nearly three times

Suri Cruise: massive disruption of Earth's ozone layer

Why should anyone think about the hazards of jet flight when someone like Tom Cruise, adored by billions, viewed in every cinema on the planet, has his four-year old daughter clock up 65,000 air miles in a year and a half , not far short of three times around the planet?

None of the jet-set and their wannabes seem to be taking a bit of notice of jetting hazards, not to judge by Air Miles, which says it sells its products everywhere in Canada. Even the Royal Bank of Canada had a major air miles promotion this year.

The general public seems to be quite happy to pay for developing air travel, too. Victoria B.C. International airport says "to accommodate increased demand in the mid to long term, it is anticipated parking spaces will have to increase from 800 to 1,400 spaces."

Furthermore, tens of millions in public money has been devoted to creating a new traffic interchange outside the airport, as if the industry has a booming future!

When I was writing the book "9/11 Revealed" it was astonishing to find out about the US corporate jet-set and just how much they fly. One guy on Flight 175 supposedly was headed to the West Coast from Boston just after flying the other way. Another was crossing America for the day, after he had just returned the day before from a junket to Italy. These people used scheduled flights as casually as taxis.

The number of passenger kilometres flown on UK airlines increased by nearly 50 per cent over the past decade, from 213 billion kilometres in 1997 to 314 billion in 2007. International travel accounted for around 97 per cent of it. The figures are similar world-wide.

You can't help wondering why NASA writes on its own website: "there is insurmountable evidence that human activities are disrupting the balance" of life-preserving ozone in the upper atmosphere.
