The best use for carbon capture is to make kerosene for aircraft, because that’s the best way to store solar power for flight

Terraform is starting out making methane (natural gas) but will move on to kerosene

You could also ban flight but this seems more practical

I think the two thirds of the worlds population that are too poor for plane tickets would prefer banning flights.

> How much % of the worlds population are financially able to afford international shipping?

Another way of looking at that is: what percentage of the world regularly consumes products that went from one country to another by plane and I think it's probably reasonably high?

With world citizen hat on I prefer to have a carbon neutral flight infra than no flight infra.

China went from poor to being pretty well off in a few decades. We should assume that poor countries won't stay poor and that they will work towards our levels of quality of life.
