I'm not arguing the point. We are far more able to tackle ground-vehicle emissions, home heating, and electrical generation.

But eventually air travel's time will come, and HSR is the only alternative that's on the table.

There are also carbon capture and sequestration and closed-loop hydrocarbon fuel production using carbon-neutral energy sources.

It’s completely false, unnecessary, and counterproductive to spread FUD about climate change requiring substantial reductions in quality of life. People are smart and resourceful enough to solve these problems.

Less travel is also on the table. We should do all of the above. A hefty carbon tax is the holistic instrument, but I'll take any/all paths.
