Humanity managed to lift vast majority of itself from abject poverty, grow enough food for everyone, prevent children mortality - unimaginable 100 years ago.
And this is called modernity, which if reversed will bring back hunger and misery.
Given that each airline can keep hundreds of machines in the air at any one time, and rocket launches happen weekly at best, paying 10% of the overall fee does not look fair.
Would be happy to know what aviation specialists think.
> air pollution, climate change, deforestation, food, biodiversity loss, ocean plastics, and overfishing. On most of these fronts, things are worse today than they were in the distant past. But on all of them, progress has been made recently, and we’re on a better trajectory than most people assume—even though that rarely makes the end-of-the-world headlines dominating the news.
Had good experience with them, works out of the box and UI is very responsive.
Very reasonable assumption, as the plane might have taken off thousands of miles away, and will land thousands of miles away in the other direction.
In this case, no point talking about takeoff sound, as it is not detectable already at these distances.
Humans can detect reasonably well which direction the sound comes from. This direction will not match the direction they observe the airplane at.
The article is describing the mismatch between plane real position and the plane position we would detect if we were just listening to it.

The death and destruction from tsunami itself was several orders of magnitude more than from nuclear station malfunction. [1]

Current nuclear plants just dont fail in such way as to "threaten all of Europe and Africa"
This was not yet the case during Cuban missile crisis BTW.
