Well given flights is 1/50th of the equation maybe your the one that needs the math class. 50 hurdles to fix the problem is bugger all. Start w the easy shit like flights and eat the rich as we work our way back up the ladder.

1/50th is quite a large percent. Lol let's angle this another way... Would you be ok with ending the life of 2% of earth's population? I mean it's only roughly 156 million out of 7.6 billion. Drop in the ocean right? Micro percentage!

Removing all 100,000 flights a day, every single day of the year sounds like quite a chore. People should drive thousands of miles instead?

Hasn’t this all been explained before?

Wouldn’t it be easier to replace 8500 coal plants and save a lot more emissions?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal-fired_power_station

No one would even know their electricity came from another source.

“Coal-fired power stations emit over 10 Gt of carbon dioxide each year,[4] about one fifth of world greenhouse gas emissions, so are the single largest cause of climate change”

So, using that ridiculous example of 156 million people, multiply it by 10.

That’s CHECKMATE!!!
