Fair point, though I don't see any major problem even if air travel was to increase by 2 or 3 times, so long as we make significant reductions in other areas.

I took 6 flights (~3,000km each).
I would start with the immediate implementation of a tax (10%?, 20%?) on all new ICE vehicle sales. Revenue from this tax would be used to subsidize the purchase of EVs.
- morsch 7y agoAt approximately 1000 kg COeq per 3000 km trip[1]. Your budget for the whole year was 2300 kg. [1] https://www.atmosfair.de/en/offset/flight https://www.atmosfair.de/en/offset/flight
- postingawayonhn 7y agoWhere is 1,000kg coming from? I looked up one of my flights (actually only about 2,400km) using that calculator and only got 230kg (83kg of C02 and 173kg of "contrails, ozone formations, etc."). This flight was on a A321neo.
- morsch 7y agoI took a random 7000 km flight and extrapolated. Sorry if that ended up off by such a large martin.
