Re:France to tax flights from its airports, airline shares fall by adrianN on Wednesday July 10, 2019 @01:54AM (#20399458)
Aviation is a small factor globally because almost nobody can afford to fly. For a typical westerner like me, a transatlantic flight per year roughly doubles my carbon footprint. Similarly, meat is a really big factor globally, because most people can afford to eat some meat, but for a westerner it makes up a much smaller (but still signifacent...) fraction of the pie because I use so much energy compared to a villager in India.
