Basically, anything that avdances human civilisation is bad. Why don’t these idiots lead by example and go live in a commune in the woods and leave the rest of us alone? Ah, that’s right, they are control freaks above all else.

Poor Hugh. He gets blamed for everything. But he can take it because he's a big boy.

Climate change caused by black carbon, also known as soot, emitted during a decade of commercial space flight would be comparable to that from current global aviation, researchers estimate.

First, the rocket fuel is selected to produce no soot. It would be wasteful to lift all that carbon high into the sky only to uselessly dump it. Some fuels have no carbon in them at all. Carbon-containing rocket fuels burn so hot that the soot is never formed.

Second, anyone who compares the number of the space flights with the number of the global aviation flights is missing a good number of zeros.
