Yes, meetings still happen face to face for business to get done. Giving up air travel, is not a reasonable option for the world at large.

- temac 7y agoGiving up things like modern medicine would not be reasonable. Giving up air travel, or at least reducing it vastly, would be merely an inconvenience. Well yeah, giving up air travel entirely would be somehow a mess, but even there it is completely sure we can make it work. In France the train is ~50 x more carbon efficient. We will not be able to keep emitting like crazy forever (we actually should have stopped completely already :/ ) , especially when reasonable alternatives exist (the train if going not too far, teleconferences, ...). If we believe in the markets, the price of an air ticket should be maybe 50x higher than what it is today, in order to stop the insane emissions. Alternatively there could be an authority who decide if we have a good reason to take the plane.
