Carbon Trading - Coming Soon? |
Imagine trying to fly American Airlines from Frankfurt to Chicago and
being delayed because AA needs to purchase some carbon “Allowances”
from easyJet. Or, your British Airways flight from London to Beijing is
cancelled because construction of a solar energy provider in South
Africa is delayed. Think this is farfetched? Try reality in four

Book Review: The Outer Whorl |
 I must admit to some trepidation when asked to read and review Neal
Schier’s new work entitled The Outer Whorl. I have read many "Airline
Pilot" biographies and to pinch a phrase from Mr. Schier’s writing, my
bookshelves groan under the weight of them. Many of the memoirs are so
formulaic and predictable because they follow the same standard script:
“I always wanted to fly since before I could walk so I saved money from
