I guess the difference is that murder is not necessary for society to function, whereas air travel basically is for the level of functioning that we have expected for 60-70 years now.
Airlines are not great companies, but we do need to find a green version of air travel, and that’s likely to be a multi-pronged approach of reducing demand, moving shorter flights to electric aircraft, making other air travel less carbon intensive, and carbon capture. Those will all require cooperation of airlines.
- kobalsky 3y agopeople could also travel less. some of it is necessary. but it’s ridiculous how much people travel
- danpalmer 3y agoIndeed, I did list reduced demand as part of the solution, but eliminating air travel is completely unrealistic and unfortunately long distance electric powered air travel is also technologically infeasible for the foreseeable future, so we do need other options to reduce air travel to net zero.
