Of course, one of the biggest moans is aircraft, when in fact they have improved their carbon footprint enormously in the last few years.
I completely agree, but there is always room for further improvement. As technology increases, so there are opportunities for more efficient engines, or less wasteful power sources, less carbon transfer etc... We should always try to strive for better, because in the long run we (the species) will benefit...
