Just 1% of people are responsible for half of all toxic emissions from flying.

    Holy fuck!

    Me: People should stop using planes to travel long distances and instead go on vacation close by and by car because it would be more efficient.

    You: Most plane travel is long distance so it can’t be replaced by car!

    Even when proven wrong with math and with multiple people telling you what you’re saying is completely missing the point, is wrong and your math makes no sense, you keep arguing!

      Holy fuck!

      You: People should stop going to stores to buy their food and should instead grow their food in their own backyards because it’s more efficient.

      Me: That’s completely unrealistic and won’t make a difference because most people live in cities and don’t have backyards.

      You: I’m only talking about the situation of people who have backyards!!

      Me: If all of those people did what you’re saying, it wouldn’t even make a dent.

      You: Multiple people are telling you that growing your own food is more efficient but you keep arguing!

      I’m arguing because your point and your suggestion don’t change anything in any meaningful way while also introducing changes that make them a non-starter. How many times do I have to repeat the statement that there are more meaningful ways that won’t impede on people’s lives more than banning most commercial flights.

      You also argued that cars are more fuel efficient than planes. They’re not. They only are in very specific scenarios that don’t reflect the reality of how people use cars at all.
