Don't forget shipping too - a huge, huge contributor. Itself dwarfed by agriculture...
Humans go for symbolism though and hate hypocrites. Banning private jets has a delicious reveng-y feeling against the sanctimonious super-rich lecturing us about reducing our footprint - anyone who's flown commercial knows exactly how much it would hurt them.
I'm against the ban because it's pointless, and because the GA sector isn't minuscule so there are a lot of jobs at risk, and because once they ban private jets they'll come for my powerboat. Better I think to just suck some more out of their bloated wallets to cover the externalities. Earmarked Jet-A taxes, for example. Mandatory offsetting.
