No one has to fly. Luckily 7 billion people don’t, or the ecological and climate mess would be even worse. Flying is the new climate denial. Know it’s bad and do it anyway, impactoary denial.

A good first step would be recognising the difference between needs and wants

Bad ? No but it distracts from what needs to be done becase it ignores two of the most important issues in regards usefulness for climate change, scale and timeliness.

It can’t satisfy either of those even if you ignire the myriad of other genuine serious concerns.

So the real question is why so many bad faith arguments from proponents offering it as a solution when it obviously isn’t ?

My hypothesis on this is; addiction to technohopium. “Tech will save us, this is tech, therefore this will save us” and just ignores reality.

It may even make sense to build a few nuc plants in places with access to little renewables eg North Korea for example.

As someone who uses the bus, I have to say I have never stabbed anyone or pissed on anyone on a bus (or off a bus for that matter) and I’ve never seen it occur. I have had friends and acquaintances killed and maimed in car accidents though.
