Aviation is a sideshow. It accounts for around 2-4% of carbon, depending on how you count its impact. And be careful extrapolating today's trends into a straight line, it rarely works out that way.

You could stop the world from flying tomorrow and it wouldn’t make a dent in your PPM growth.

If aviation busts the carbon budget, so will most everything else, and by vastly larger margins.

Better to direct your limited resources at lower hanging fruit, unless you'd prefer the perfect to kill the good.
