Commercial flight is not great for CO2 emissions either. Because a small group of people flies instead of walking or bicycling, a lot of CO2 emissions are produced.
I bet the sum total CO2 of commercial flight is way higher the sum total of CO2 from private flights. Neither is necessary.

Yesterday I also couldn't find any commercial flights to the grocery store either, so I had to bike there. > I bet the sum total CO2 of commercial flight is way higher the sum total of CO2 from private flights. Neither is necessary. The notion that flying is "unnecessary" ignores those of us who immigrated across an ocean. Unless I never want to see my aging family again I will have to fly every now and then.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoBecause setting a minimum quality of life as being able to fly anywhere around the world is environmentally untenable for 8B people. So if it cannot be accessible to all 8B people, then it brings up the question for how to determine who deserves it and who does not. Which then leads to who deserves first class rather than coach, which then leads to who deserves a private jet versus a plane. Or even who deserves a personal car rather than using the bus or having to carpool.
