UK climate change law will include aviation emissions

But the government faced defeat on the climate change Bill after backbench Labour MPs vowed to vote against the government if aviation and shipping were excluded from the emissions reduction targets. Now the government has backed down and agreed to include aviation and shipping emissions in the 80 per cent target ahead of a vote on the Bill by MPs in the House of Commons today (Tuesday 28 October). If, as expected, it is passed it will go then to the House of Lords for approval before being passed into law in November.

For the captains of the relatively young team, leading the group adds another dynamic to the situation. "We have to get our team up to speed to make them competitive," said Co-captain Brian Clavenna, senior in aviation management from Houston, adding they try to lead by example and challenge the team to succeed. "It’s tough on them and it’s tough on us, but we find a way to do it. "And the captains’ responsibility doesn’t end at motivating the team. In the case of events such as this week’s National Intercollegiate Flight Association regional championships in Carbondale, the captains step up and help with planning and logistics. "We’re like coaches without actually being a coach," said Co-captain Andrew Ross, a senior aviation flight and management major from Bartlett.
