How much damage has to be caused to get you people interested in trying to minimize further damage? There’s no good reason to not minimize what we can. You’re not edgy or countercultural for wanting to cause all the damage you can. I know it’s just “to own the libs,” and that’s an immature stance to take. The sad reality is that we are causing irreversible damage, and need to do what we reasonably can to mitigate further damage. This doesn’t mean giving up on aviation altogether. We shouldn’t do that. But it may mean aiming for unleaded fuel, or pushing for new planes to be more efficient, or discouraging rich people from using jumbo jets like taxis.
A lot of people in aviation are p*ssed-off Boomers who think they’re entitled to whatever they want regardless of who has to suffer, but it’s time you grew up and realize that, after you’re dead in a few years, your kids and grandkids have to live on whatever if left of the planet. Something maybe not causing AS much damage as thought shouldn’t be used as an excuse to cause all the damage you can. Grow up.
