Wide office scene, Dings walking past the camera\u003cbr/\u003eAviation chiefs pledged Tuesday to address the industry's impact on climate change but shied away from concrete targets to reduce carbon emissions.\u003cbr/\u003eA declaration signed by trade bodies and aircraft makers commits the aviation industry to develop new technologies with the eventual aim of achieving carbon-free travel.\u003cbr/\u003eThe signatories included trans-Atlantic rivals Boeing and Airbus, engine makers Rolls Royce and General Electric, as well as industry groups such as the International Air Transport Association, which represents more than 240 airlines around the world.\u003cbr/\u003eSignatories declared they will work toward providing \"meaningful benefits on tackling climate change and other environmental challenges\" by helping to set up an international emissions trading program under the auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, or ICAO.\u003cbr/\u003eBy putting their weight behind an ICAO-run program, the industry again signalled its opposition to the European Union's plans to set up a regional emissions trading system.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 27-nation bloc's attempt to include commercial airlines in its cap-and-trade program has been opposed by the airline industry as well as by the United States, China, and other countries.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have to give credit to Europe that raised the bar for environment, and we are happy because we are ready to take this kind of challenge, but it's also time for europe to try to be more effective in explaining the need for system and emissions scheme global,\" IATA chief executive Giovanni Bisignani told delegates at the industry meeting in Geneva ahead of the signing.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said other countries would not accept, let alone adopt, a trading system imposed by the EU.\u003cbr/\u003eThe greatest incentive for airline companies to reduce their emissions is the high price of fuel, Bisignani said.\u003cbr/\u003eScientists estimate that airlines are to blame for at least 2 percent of man-made emissions of carbon dioxide, a gas believed to contribute to global warming. \u003cbr/\u003eOther gases emitted by aircraft are also thought to add to the global warming effect but scientists have been unable to agree on their exact impact, with estimates ranging from 1 percent to 7 percent of carbon\u003cbr/\u003eequivalent.\u003cbr/\u003eBisignani said that, with fuel costing the industry 156 (b) billion US Dollars last year, both airlines and aircraft makers had reason enough to want to lower fuel consumption.\u003cbr/\u003eEnvironmentalists argue that the problem of carbon emissions from aviation will not improve unless a series of radical changes are undertaken to improve efficiency. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the meantime, the growing number of flights threatens to undo improvements made in other industries, ultimately undermining international targets to halve emissions by 2050 compared with 1990.\u003cbr/\u003eA Brussels-based environment pressure group said on Tuesday that aviation and the environment are \"contradiction in terms\" and that a lot still needs to change within the aviation industry in tackling climate change.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking from his offices before the declaration, Jos Dings, director for Transport and Environment, Europe's principal environmental organisation campaigning on sustainable transport, criticised the industries half-hearted attempts to combat climate change.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Under the current political framework and under the current attitude of the (aviation) industry, aviation and environment is a contradiction in terms. A lot needs to change, politicians need to change, they need to act more toughly on this and also the industry attitude needs to change, they need to become more constructive towards political
