Personal emissions are framed as a moral issue by environmental activists. Those allied with the activists are perceived to be outsized users of air travel. And most air travel is non-essential. Amongst users of air travel, it is a significant source of emissions. A single round-trip across an ocean is on the same magnitude as driving emissions for the average american. The hypocrisy is obvious. Morality and personal responsibility are a terrible foundation for environmentalism.
