I'm not sure how to break this to you, but scientists are generally aware about up and coming technologies. And we do think about potential future impact.
So let me rephrase
>>I'm not aware of climate scientists actually caring about potential future implementations of supersonic travel.

I'm not sure how to break this to you, but supersonic flight isn't an up and coming technology.
It's decades old, and it's failed for economic reasons.
Climate scientists worrying about the impacts of supersonic flight would be like Ornithologists looking to spot dinosaurs in the wild.

That’s because they’re more aware of the history of commercial supersonic transport than the investors at Boom, and therefore have no reason to worry.

You don’t expect to see an unvarnished historical perspective derided that way here, but I suppose you have a point. Can you tell me where I’ve changed my mind on this issue?
Because there isn't any. None. Zero. Why would you be aware of people worrying about something that currently doesn't exist?
