Yes, as I said, you're moving the goal posts! The initial point that was being discussed was whether or not planes have higher emissions that cars because planes are less efficient than cars and that's not true. You're arguing a hypothetical that puts the car in an ideal situation while simultaneously putting planes in the worst situation. You suggested banning the majority of commercial flights when that won't even make as big of an impact. Why not ban the majority of cars since they have a far greater cumulative impact than planes? If we're going for completely unreasonable suggestions that only affect single-digit percentages of the problem, why not ban boats too?
And my point was that this is an unreasonable ask since it would limit where people can travel while not actually moving the needle in any substantive, meaningful way.
Banning commercial flights would not lower CO2 emissions by 3%. You're living in a fantasy world.
