I'm not saying we should leave it as is, but there are easier and more impactful things to focus on.
- Gigachad 5y agoYou can say this of just about everything. The problem is that everything needs to be cut down.
- freemint 5y agoVery few people fly. 3.5% of emissions can be cut just by inconviniencing a few. Sounds easy and will not impact many peple.
- input_sh 5y ago> just by inconviniencing a few. I mean, if you ignore cargo, sure. If you don't ignore it nor that more fuel is being burned by an average cargo flight (due to more weight compared to a commercial flight), it'd inconvenience everyone.
- freemint 5y agoExpect cargo flight are responsible for a fraction of CO2 emissions from commercial aviation[1]. If you really want to push there are solutions: Packages just take longer over sea (10-15 days) until we switch to an air ship (2-3) based transport system which doesn't have to pay so much energy of lifting.
