Why sustainable transport policies will fail: EU climate policy in the light of transport taboos (2014, background): “…increases under various ETS or climate policy scenarios all conclude that those currently planned will not significantly change travel flows (Pentelow and Scott, 2010, 2011) or reduce absolute emissions from the aviation sector (Ares, 2012; Jotzo, 2010; Mayor and Tol, 2009; Scott et al. 2010).”
How does tourism development affect environmental pollution? (2021, background): “For example, Scott et al. (2010) have revealed that tourism’s high-growth emissions trends could turn it into a major global source of greenhouse gases.”
Exploring people's viewpoints on air travel and climate change: understanding inconsistencies (2013, background): “Several major airlines actually foresee a doubling of emissions by 2050 (AGD Group, 2009 cited in Scott et al., 2010).”
Can tourism be part of the decarbonized global economy? The costs and risks of alternate carbon reduction policy pathways (2015, background): “While social change on this nature is a potentially important contributor to the decarbonization of tourism, there is no evidence that tourists are willing to consider such change in holiday patterns at this time (G€ossling et al., 2013; Higham, Reis, & Cohen, 2015; Scott et al., 2010).”
The dynamic causal links between CO2 emissions from transport, real GDP, energy use and international tourism (2018, background): “The majority of the empirical researches conclude that tourism has a positive effect on CO2 emissions (see for example Becken 2005; Holden 2009; Saarinen 2006; Berrittella et al. 2006; Lee et al. 2009; Peeters and Dubois 2010; Scott et al. 2010; Doyle 2014; Al-Mulali et al., 2015).”
