I thought the subject was cars right now. I see the point of bringing up something for a larger perspective, but this here is just whataboutism. With this "argument" it's useless to talk about any source of pollution - because there always is another one. Also, using a different car is very easy, it does not compare to not flying, so the comparison is more than just a little flawed to begin with.

My point was about being principled not whataboutism. Of the people telling others to not drive cars, how many people are avoiding flying for non-essential travel? Its easy to tell others to sacrifice, and I'm sure that everyone has at-least one cause they care about.

What if one wants to drive a gas guzzler, but avoid airline travel? :)
