The sometimes-overlapping objectives, tasks and activities of associations must be coordinated better to show a joint standing and representation on important issues. Participation and promotion within the framework of Pro Aviation which, in its activities would like to support the interests of German aviation, could be helpful in this area. Air traffic wastes energy. 38 percent of all energy consumed is based on oil. Eight percent of this, or 3 percent of all energy, is consumed by aviation.
Aviation is the most serious factor for greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse effect stems from CO2, methane and water vapour. Aviation produces some 2 percent of the non-natural CO2, no methane and approx. 220 million tons of water per year. Atmosphere measurements in Spain and Hawaii prove that the increase in atmospheric CO2 content is slowing, despite increasing non-natural CO2 production, since 1987. Air Traffic doubles within 10 years, hence so does fuel consumption.
