Ridiculous.

In fact it is beyond ridiculous to set a limit.

Anyone who thinks CO2 is a dangerous pollutant should be limited to two flights per year. On any conveyance, no private plane exemption.

"As global air travel demand continues to rise, one Norwegian politician recommends a cap of 10 air journeys per year per citizen..."

Why 10? Where does this number come from? If they really believe air travel is harmful, they should move to ban it all together.

Co-founder of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and lives in Oslo.

And you know they'll somehow find an exemption for him.

Unless you own your own private jet, of course.

The global corporate oligarchy is exempt.

Why?

Watch the TV show Occupation to get a glimpse into the Norwegian psyche.

They are earnest and nuts.

I say ban everyone who is upset about “climate change” from using evil fossil fuels. The rest of us can continue on our merry path....

I entirely believe this measure has strong support in Norway and other European countries.
I’ve recently spent a good deal of time over there and they honestly believe they deserve to spend $8+ per gal (4 litres), happily pay a 25% VAT sales tax, and other obscenely high taxes in order for there to be a just society and healthy environment.

Norwegians love the idea needing to own ((CO2 free)) $75 K Tesla mobile crematorium vehicles because it fulfills their collective guilt over being ranked the #1 quality of life country ironically all because of the North Sea oil reserves they started exploiting in the 1970s.

These are the nice naïve people who threw themselves at Barack Obama in 2009 and gave him a Nobel Peace Prize after having been in office two+ months. Arayan dupes.

PS. Oslo is also very proud of it’s diverse muslim savage rapists too! <- personally saw them wilding at night at the train stations.

Sure it could be done... Track everybody and put a progressive mileage tax on airline tickets. The tax would create a soft limit on mileage. Better than limiting trips to airlines, or rationing their fuel.

The problem here is with the people who would joyfully use authority to act out their control fantasies.

That gives me an idea for a new business.

Carbon credits are traded when a company doesn't use their carbon allotment. Well, why not trade flight allotments if a person doesn't use them? Most people don't fly as often as 10 times a year, but, if they're allowed 10 flights and don't use them, why not sell/trade them as "flight credits"?

If they decide to do something like this they should do it in the fashion of carbon credits.

Plenty of people like myself only fly when forced to do so; one trip every 5 or ten years.

Others need to fly on nearly a weekly basis. My niece had a job where she needed to fly sometimes twice a week.

If those who do not fly can sell there rights on an open market , okay.

Not really, I think it is a stupid idea.

I know a traveling salesman who is responsible for millions of dollars in sales. He flies all over the country and is gone three out of five days every week. I presume he’d have to purchase unused travel from other citizens?

But people going to climate change conferences can fly all they want.
