NY Times: Air travel is a big climate problem with no good solution (except to stop flying)

Remember way back in February of 2019 when AOC helped launch the Green New Deal? Along with the resolution itself, her office also handed out copies of a GND FAQ which said some pretty wild things about support for people “unwilling to work” and about expanding high speed rail to “a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.”
AOC’s office got a lot of blowback on that and later claimed it was all a mistake but a lot of us took it as a peek into what the far left would really like to do if they thought they could get away with it. The idea of making air travel unnecessary was one of those ideas that stuck as a kind of literal pie in the sky idea.
Today the NY Times published a piece about air travel as a climate problem for which there is no good solution.
