Chopping CO2 emissions into tiny pieces of a pie and then making a point of how small any particular slice is a traditional way of fooling ourselves about it.

Chopping CO2 emissions into tiny pieces of a pie and then making a point of how small any particular slice is a traditional way of fooling ourselves about it.
Also, civil aviation emissions have larger warming impact than just the CO2 emissions would say, as the radiative forcing effect is dramatically multiplied due to what happens high in the atmosphere - see eg https://csl.noaa.gov/news/2020/287_0903.html https://csl.noaa.gov/news/2020/287_0903.html
