Lots of responses here focusing on planes and air travel. Just wanted to call out what a small part (1.9%) of the problem that actually is: https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector

Thanks for re-iterating this. Granted, due to where the emissions take place, air travel is slightly stronger/higher but I feel like the sole focus on air travel is an annoying feature of a lot of climate-change discussions. It's something we really don't have many technically or economically viable alternatives for yet.

Why don't climate-change measures and discussions focus on the other 95%+ of sources that are easier to address?

Yes, but all the small parts add up.
