While I was researching this week’s video on aviation’s role in greenhouse gas emissions—and especially SAF—one phrase kept recurring in my overstimulated brain: window dressing, albeit sincere window dressing. On the light side of general aviation, the attitude is that the warming planet thing doesn’t really exist, so let’s not even talk about it. And those who acknowledge the data and accept the reality—maybe a third to half of our audience—don’t want to talk about it, either. I’m in that cohort myself. Except I will talk about it because it's my wont to throw rocks at sacred cows.
