Thats certainly and excuse i’ve seen and also fits with the “earths climate has always changed” trope.
And to answer the question directly, yes they should. Ignoring it today is creating issues for many many years to come. Firstly we havent seen the full impact of current co2 emissions and secondly even if we switched off now, the earth doesnt reset overnight.
Of course I agree. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get everyone on the same page.
Only one country/entity/social/economic class has to have an “advantage” and the page, book, library, district, city and country are quite different very quickly…
Not great
It would be achievable but it would need a change to the PNR data and some way of charging that at the time of booking.
An easier way would be to charge a takeoff tax based around the aircraft’s potential CO2 emissions per flight.
A takeoff tax would have a parallel benefit. Short haul flights are far more problematic from a carbon efficiency perspective, because a startling percentage of fuel use occurs in take-off and climb to cruising altitude.
Ahh physics…
This is Miami yesterday. It was a sunny day without rain

I like pictures. Fascinating.
It popped up on my phone

Yes. It’s mentioned in the article. No massive surprises but a few little ones like Belgium coming in quite high.
But ranks the highest co2 emissions in Europe after Malta. So it doesnt quite follow. Oil producers rank highest. No surprise there.
What does Singapore do to get on top of those rankings, above the 4 oil producers?
Annex Saudi Arabia.
Electrical power generation is mostly oil. Singapore is an advanced economy so it uses a good deal of electricity, despite being fairly energy efficient.
I suppose if aviation is included, then being an aviation hub they would be hit quite badly by that too…

Yeah, you dont expect rain like in Valencia, but more on the plains
My thoughts are with all those affected.
