And yes, I know flying only makes roughly 5% of world emissions. It also turns out that these are some of the most avoidable emissions. We should be cutting them first.

We're all of us speeding towards a cliff that ends in environmental disaster.
And if you point that out, you get downvoted to invisibility on Hacker News and elsewhere.
I spent a lot of my 20s and early 30s as an environmental activist. I'm now in my mid 40s. One of the biggest things I've learned is that the vast majority of people will never make that trade. We are going to heat up the Earth. And then we are going to deal with the consequences.
