A comment on The Disappearance of the Ashtray. Parent comment
Really, widespread air travel is that recent:
<https://transportgeography.org/contents/chapter5/air-transpo...>
1980: ~1,000 billion passenger/km.
2019: ~8,500 billion passenger/km.
Global population's increased, but by less than 2x.
If you go back to 1960, the chart is stuck to the floor.
I've had a call out for further stats with no responses yet:
