That is a good solution.

That depends, I would argue that changing flight schedules is not just a slight inconvenience, its more than that.
Are airlines even a big source of co2 emission when you compare it with other sources, we should be tackling the biggest emission sources not the small ones.
- skohan 5y ago> Are airlines even a big source of co2 emission when you compare it with other source I am not an expert but I found this article: https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector According to this it looks like passenger aviation accounts for around 1.5% of CO2 produced. Additionally, according to this article: https://www.carbonindependent.org/22.html https://www.carbonindependent.org/22.html the climate impact of flights should be considered with a factor of 2-3 times their base carbon emissions, due to additional effects specific to air travel, like nitrous oxide and ozone emissions. Even at the base rate of 1.5%, that seems high for a single activity no?

Well 1.5% is not too high if you ask me, it would be worth our time and money to tackle other emission sources which contribute 5% or more, not saying we should ignore airlines but forcing delays and harassment to airline travellers is not right.
