My experience of Ryanair is that after you have paid all their extra costs and for one item of hold baggage, a return flight advertised at £0.00 actually removes about £50 to £60 from your wallet.
If there was a complete carbon emission trading system applying, then sensible trade-offs could be made. I think that if you did have to buy the carbon, people might well choose to fly more and imported buy plastic toys less.
