The customer can buy extra insurance for that, or buy a ticket from a company that provides it. Such companies would be very motivated to only offer routes that operate at very high capacity to avoid paying.
> So more tax on middle class people?
How is this "class" dependent?
> So are you prepared to pay higher prices for everything which is transported by fossil fuels,
We are already paying the price for this. Both in cash (e.g. the price of insurance for homes for natural disasters has skyrocketed due to global warming in certain areas), and in a lower future quality of life for yourself and your children.
I'd rather have the people that use fossil fuels pay for them, instead of everybody else.
I get that some people like to travel by plane - i do too - and that sometimes you really want to eat that fruit that has been transported by boat from 20.000km away, instead of buying the food that's available locally. I sometimes like that too.
You seem to think that innocent children should pay with a lower quality of life to allow you to do these unsustainable things cheaply.
I strongly disagree with you here.
Pollution, climate damage, etc. has to be priced in.
If that avocado from 5.000km away were to cost 1000 $ instead of 2$ people would think twice about it.
The claim that we shouldn't do this because this only impacts non rich people is flawed. There are many things rich people can do, like buying a lambo, that poor people cannot do. Your claim that poor people somehow have the right to get a lambo, or for that matter, eat avocados, is false. These things are not "rights".
