Airplanes contribute 2% of greenhouse emissions, how about we don't start there.

We can ground flights immediately. Literally today.

Building new nuclear power stations takes a long time.

If you believe we have 15 years left you do the first one in order to give yourself time to do the second one.

Grounding airplanes looks a lot like chopping off your own fingers because losing weight in a more systematic way is hard.
