      Literally, I am not entitled to fast and comfortable methods of transportation just for living on an island?

      We can speak about reducing the frequency of flights, finding more efficient ways to fly, or faster boats. But planes still have a use case

        Well, no you’re not, if it was up to me. Same with flying from Munich to Berlin. You have the choice do it, but you shouldn’t, because it’s emitting like 200x the amount of CO2 and you know it. So take the less damaging option, for the sake of all of us and our children. How else are we supposed to drop emissions to zero in the next 25 years if everyone feels entitled to “fast and comfortable”?!

          The least damaging option is to go back to a hunter gatherer lifestyle, let’s not be extremists.

          Plus according to This web page , a 100km economy class plane ticket emits 1.2x the amount of co2
