    1.9% is significant and meaningful, objectively, mathematically and statistically. It might not feel high to you. But that is your feeling.

    And I suspect you are assuming that the path, you think uses the best strategy, to reach 50% reduction on emissions is the only available. Reducing emissions of the persons with most emissions is a valid priority, and these high emitters likely include aviation emmlissions.

      1.9% for people to go back to crossing the Atlantic on the titanic … No more air freight. No more sunny vacations for anyone. That’s all aviation gone. Now you find me the other 50% on that pie chart and picture the miserable world you’re advocating for. Then realise no logical developing country is going to comply with that plan as that means freezing them at their current level and that this isn’t a fixable problem through reductions … And chasing several thousand high emissions worth individuals is an utter waste of time … Let’s just agree to disagree I suppose.
