All sources of emission are real problems, because the consequences of emissions are catastrophic. The issue is to prioritize which ones to work on first. Flying is nice, but less necessary than many other human activities. Living at a continental or planetary scale is completely unnecessary.

Air travel is a necessity for many, and has quite significant benefits. Goong abroad and learning about people, cultures, and yourself is a difficult thing to quantify but it absolutely pays dividends later in life.

    Given the countries that travel the least also often are the countries most likely to trigger a war, I'd say we might want to leave that one alone for now and focus on other creators of CO2.
