It’s just a preview of some of the tough choices we may have to make as climate change gets worse.
Maybe we get a certain amount of carbon credits and we get to decide how to use them. Sure, if a parent is sick, take a flight to be with them but it may mean you take public transportation for a couple of weeks when you get back instead of driving to work. Or work from home for a while if that’s an option.

Tax environmental damage at every step and make the costs of things reflect their actual costs. If wealth inequality is a problem, balance it out with redistribution. Some will say this is extreme, but this thread is about forbiding travel, so extreme is where we're at in this context. Id rather see soft behavior shaping through tax policies than by straight up banning things.
