For typical middle-class people (like the ones probably reading this), usually the single worst thing they do is flying. It's the only way to blow your personal carbon budget for the whole year in just a few hours.

That's at the individual level.

    And air travel is increasing.

    Air travel for leisure / tourism is environmentally irresponsible to the extent that I cannot personally justify my participation.

    I think when it comes to flying we should go back to balloons. We don't need to reach far distances as quickly as we do, and we could drastically cut emissions if we grounded all the planes.
