Flying Should Be Outlawed to Reduce Climate Change

[Anonymous]

You first, OP.
And please report back in four years to let us know what an impact it has had, on your life and on the climate. Then I’ll decide whether to join you on your noble quest.

Wow, so then only rich people in developed countries can travel? Is that what you’re saying?

Bizarre place to share a bizarre take.

My parents live in Europe and I have aunts and cousins in Asia.

I fly once every two years in economy. No guilt.

Individual transport is far less impactful to global warming than industrial production, OP. Cheap clothing, for example.

Agree about the cheap clothing. Americans are drunk on the cheap crap at Costco and Target. Supporting slave labor in China is disgusting.

Vocalizing absurd opinions like this is part of the reason Democrats and Kamala lost all credibility with the American people.

Don't worry. Global economy is suffering and flying will die a natural death.

Starting when?

Wow, I thought this administration was taking us back to the gilded age, but I guess some people want us to go even further back. Well, OP didn’t mention the billionaire class, so I suppose it’s okay if they travel, and dump toxic waste in our water, and decimate our national parks.

It sure sounds like a Trumpster to me.

I plan to fly more than ever this year to make up for the people flying less due to climate change.

Only richer people can fly now. What are you proposing? Vouchers for poor subsistence farmers in Burkina Faso so they can fly around? Is that what they would want to do with an amount of money?

I am proposing we have a tax to cover the negative externalities of flying. People then decide what they want to do with their money.

I don’t buy clothes either place but where are you buying non china clothes exactly? Vintage and thrift, sure, but where else for a reasonable cost on things like leggings and undies?
