We should have a price for carbon. And then let the market decide between flying, crusie ships, driving etc.

Agree. Just tax the hell out of it. Otherwise it will never stop and only get worse. I also agree to get rid of cruises. Any car that can’t get 30mph highway. Houses over 3500sf. Etc.

It will unless you are wealthy enough to own a private plane. Have fun on your last couple of trips though 😎

Why would that change? Is something happening to commercial aviation?

You people are brainwashed. But sure, start with banning private jets.

Oh wait! Your elites have the best excuses, especially that fool named John Kerry. Funny how they always exempt themselves.

This.

And honestly I don’t think a business reason is better than a personal reason, but I see what you’re going for.

On the other hand, I wonder what your plan is for the tourism-dependent economies this would collapse? Any ideas for them?

It's important that we save our planet for all of our families.

Probably better to start with the cruise ships.

How about you outlaw private jets first.

I do so because, my husband is also an exec for an international wholesaler and contracts with the WHO. He cannot do his important work without flying. I think he and most other execs have justifiable reasons for flying. I include Doctors and aide workers, but overall your average person doesn't have a good enough reason to do so.

I get that people like to travel but it's important to remember the harm you cause when you fly. I am not saying flying should be completely eliminated, but just on an absolute need to basis. If we can eliminate flying and possibly eventually driving, this would do a lot to save our planet and make the world a better place. We have the internet so travel is not that important anymore. Unless you are an executive, or a political leader you are better off staying put.
