@agajdosi@witter.cz @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu This isn't really a useful thing to spend your energy on for two reasons: 1. Aviation is such a luxury product in absolute terms its only a fraction of global emissions. (2.5%, great for virtue signalling, not useful for combating climate change) 2. Because of the nature of planes, making Jet A1 more expensive in one place just makes planes fuel up more in another place, thereby flying with a less efficient W&B and burning more net fossil fuels.
