Nope, air transportation is not a major contributor to CO2.

There are over 100,000 flights daily. They account for about 2.5% of CO2 emissions yearly.

You know what is? Coal power plants that generate electricity.

Maybe we should focus on electricity generation from coal. I’m a little surprised that more hasn’t been done.
