    It is going to be better because of there being much fewer private jets than regular diesel cars.

    Pollution is pollution, doesn’t matter how much it costs. The planet doesn’t care. It will die anyway and take us with it.

    Damn fscking right it doesn’t. However, “cost” is a human concept, and humans do care. So if you want to reduce pollution, you’ll choose in favor of less pollution for the same amount of activity, and that is measured in dollars.

    So please, tell us why it is “obvious” to you.

    I just have.
