vapeloki comments on Europe has 'maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,' energy agency head warns

Then maybe, just maybe, we should start canceling short distance flights?

Would also be a little bit less CO2 pumped out for a while.

I don't know what's "short distance" for you, but a flight from Zagreb to Amsterdam takes about 2 hours.

Using public transportation on the same route is 20+ hours at best and you need to switch between bus and train four times. Driving is 10+ hours.

Maybe, just maybe, we should stop immediately providing kerosine to private jets first? And droping subsidies for jet fuel and financing public transport instead?

nah suspend all flight, no one flies until the train tracks are built and optimized.
