France's Green Metamorphosis.

The author criticizes the French environmental summit, which he says, failed to address the real aviation issues. Characterized as a green New Deal, the highly publicized gathering drew up plans for decisions, regulations and multiple initiatives expected to make France an environmentally virtuous nation. The author, however, argues that the summit's conclusions include serious errors involving air transportation. Discussions, for instance, covering airlines and airports ignored basic facts and largely referred to aircraft as highly polluting machines.
