air travel
Jessica-Nicole asked:


There is a debate in progress that air travel should be limited because of gas prices and the effect it has on global warming. What do you think?

no they should cut back because of terrorist. No wait because of SARS not they should cut back because of Hurricains. No they should cut back on traveling because it’s cheaper to walk.

Global warming is in full effects now if believe it or not. The thing I want to bring to your attention is that no one has bothered to tell the flight companies that the billions of dollars the US government shelled out to keep them afloat is due in 20 mins. Money poorly spent which could have gone to Greener solutions. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK FOOO!!!

No, it’s anti growth, anti free market, and anti American.

Global warming is not caused by human activity,

there should be more air travel to reduce costs!

Why air travel and not automobiles or coal-fueled power plants? And why “forced”? There is a more civilized way of achieving the same result. It’s called taxation…

I think think the increasing price of oil and therefore air travel, combined with public awareness of the problem which will make air travel unfashionable, will probably cause a cut back and no government action is necessary.

For anything which would included their decisions in purely economic sense no society should not be.
The environment they will adjust their decisions if someone is of course assuming individuals make rational decisions in their demand accordingly this is really concerned about the supply of gas and they will adjust their demand accordingly this is really concerned about the.

If Al Gore would fly in a big jet v/s small private airplanes, it would help.

Rising fuel prices affect ticket prices. As supply dwindles, fuel (and therefore ticket) prices rise and price more and more people out of flying.

The only source seems like cap on supply of green house gas this might make some sense but since it is hardly the largest source of air travel was the only source of air travel was the only source of.
The tax proceeds to the damage and since it is just plain idiotic idea like silly place to correct the largest source of green house gas this might make some sense but since it is.
