Just 1% of people are responsible for half of all toxic emissions from flying.

    They're arguing that people *should be required to isolate from their families if they live far enough away*. That's nonsense.

    That’s exactly how people lived until the 1950s, if people decided to move across the continent for school they isolated themselves from their family and knew that was the price to pay.

      We don’t live in the 1950s, jackass. If we did, people wouldn’t all own cars either. Your comparison is wrong.

        I’m pointing out that we’re living in an historical anomaly and I’ve proven multiple times by now that it’s not sustainable unless you don’t understand how math works.

          You haven’t proven anything. I’ve literally shown you and provided sources that show that airplanes are more fuel efficient than cars in our current use, have improved in efficiency by over 57% in the last 20 years, are less than 5% of the actual outputted emissions (including contrails), and that there are many, many other industries that would have a bigger impact in changing over airlines. It is 100% sustainable unless we make no other movement in any other emissions types.
