While I am completely convinced that humans are changing the climate, I am not convinced that air travel is the big contributor claimed by many. We are only now getting satellite evidence of the amount of methane venting being done industrially, which seems to be a bigger contributor per unit of mass emitted.
I live in the U.S., which has many big automobiles transporting just one person. They are a much bigger emitter of carbon per person per unit of distance traveled. I don’t see why we should be discouraging commercial air travel while allowing individual automobiles to emit so much.
Those of you who are against air travel for climate reasons, can you share a source that has convinced you that it is a real problem?
