Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has hit back at criticism from the climate change minister [Ian Pearson], saying his airline was "the greenest in Europe"...Mr Pearson said: "When it comes to climate change, Ryanair are not just the unacceptable face of capitalism, they are the irresponsible face of capitalism." He also attacked British Airways, saying it was "only just playing ball" on environmental regulations, and Lufthansa, the German airline...Mr O'Leary defended his company and the industry as a whole. "We are the greenest airline in Europe...[but]...What he should be attacking is the power generation stations and the road transport who between them account for over 50% of emissions."...[a] spokesman for Budget airline Easyjet, said the company "stands full-square with the government" on the proposal to include EU internal flights and international flights in the carbon trading scheme.
