With respect, you may object all you like, but you still have not provided a rational or scientific counterargument (or publication) to any of my points. Frankly, you seem motivated by ideology rather than serious debate, so this will be my one and only reply in this thread.
I’d like to think that we are all on the same side here- the promotion of aviation. I haven’t presented any “alarmist” perspective- I agree that such climate alarmists exist and should be debated.
Calling for an end to all aviation activities and obsessing about one’s climate footprint is folly. You won’t find me gluing myself to the street or flying a drone illegally at a major airport to disrupt traffic. However, it is the failure to acknowledge reality that I find troublesome among the aviation community. Yes, my Warrior contributes to climate change- a tiny drop in the bucket, but a drop nonetheless. Policy change is needed to significantly impact the future in ways most of us won’t live long enough to realize. There are ways to do this that do not cripple aviation. Are we capable of long-term thinking like this?
