I think there should be tax on flights, and the tax rate should double every time you fly in a year.
Nobody needs to be this cunty.
For private flights, correct?
Not if you actually want to fix the environment.
So everyone that was going to take the plane has to drive now because it’s too expensive to take mass transport on a commercial plane?
Fuel rationing. You get a certain ammount of fuel per year with no extra taxes on it. If you use above that ammount, you’re charged a marginal environment tax.
Can’t we just mandate bio or syn fuel? It also costs more (which is they don’t use it) so will have the same discouragement factor, plus the carbon emissions are at least from currently active carbon, rather than carbon that’s been sequestered hundreds of millions of years
That would require arable land, which would affect food production or require devastating wild areas to create new monoculture farms. Both options would come with horrible side-effects for society and/or environment.
Certainly there is a scaling problem. However there are prototype fuels from several crops, and marine plants. There’s also synfuel which may not require crops.
Then we have all that crop land currently dedicated to corn for ethanol. What will happen to tha land and those farmers as we transition to EVs? Maybe they could switch over to jet fuel
Anybody that flies that many times a year should be sacrificed to the sun god. If the sun god doesn’t take us all before that.

They will likely just travel less.
All flights, proportional to the income of the passenger.
Taxes need to scale with income. Your plan will hurt regular people that have to fly to see family.
Fuckers like this CEO make too much money and they need to be taxed into oblivion.
Can i vote for you?
