It's not just CO2 it's the Greenhouse Theory itself that is bogus.

The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'

Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.

Those four articles each show that Greenhouse Theory itself has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.

GE, Pratt & Whitney, Senemeca, Rolls Royce etc, (these people build turbines for planes) are doing their absolute best to increase efficiency which lowers pollution. CO2 is not a pollutant but that is a different subject.

The reason they do this is the most fuel efficient turbine is the one the airlines buy and hang on their aircraft.

SAF can be done it’s horribly expensive. SAF is synthetic Aviation fuels. You can make them with an alcohol such as methanol,ethanol,propanol or butanol. Knock a OH off and you have the associated alkene which then you dimerize, trimerize or oligomerize into C10 to C14 C=C double bonded chains commonly known as jet fuel. You also can go the triglyceride route and knock the glycerine off at the alpha bond which leaves you with three C10_12 molecules being linear chained their cold properties are rubbish you then have to turn some into aromatics or at least branch chained. So they don’t gel at minus 30C.

And just where does the FAA get the authority to say a damn thing about this?

Take away all CO 2 and NO PLANT GROWS.

You are wrong, Biden is a symptom not a driver of the disease.

All the blame goes to people who vote these madmen and madwomen (Matriarchy society now) into public office at every level. We are a Representative Republic after all (At least on “paper”) that uses democratic principles concerning the choosing who represents us. Also, ignorance is no excuse, especially concerning democratic methods in choosing Reps.

The elite will continue to enjoy their extravagant lifestyle while they steadily program the masses to live with less and less.

You will eat bugs, own nothing, and be happy. Why would you want to fly anywhere?

Prop fans and geared triple spool turbines are the future with bypass ratios of 20+ to one. GE and Rolls lead the industry with these. The 777 engines are wider than a 737 fuselage and some of the most efficient prime movers ever created with a 50:1 pressure ratio rivaled only by large 2 cycle ship diesels of comparable power in the 100,000+ to range but at a fraction of the weight. The tolerances in the turbines are measured in microns and the.blades only survive due to Herculean effort in cooling via microscopic bleed sure passages which less than ten years ago was national level tech. You have 2500+ degree air screaming by blades that would melt in seconds at those temps except they bleed cooling air making a few mm thick boundary layer over the metal.

—”WE RENTED A Suburban. Carrying six at 23 mpg is more efficient than a car getting 50 mpg but only carrying on.”

Perhaps they should enact minimum miles per gallon per passenger flight standards.

And having 50 reporters and or lackeys would not count.

The plane would only depart when full.

Yes, it might disrupt the economy, but nonworking and big-shot politicians don’t care.

They say, there is a leisure class at both ends of the social scale.

Isn't it more important that the planes reach their destinations safely?

Guaranteed the morons who are forcing this has zero experience in the aviation industry. And as soon as it goes in to effect the idiot Shumer will run to the cameras calling for investigations on high airfare.

Since planes will not be able to significantly reduce emissions, they will meet the new standards through “carbon credits”. They will probably be forced to buy those credits from “poor” nations, like China. I think these globalists might be Ferengi.

1. Define CO2 as pollution and regulate it.
2. Sell CO2 credits.
3. Profit!

A “tax” on CO2 is a tax on everything...

They better start expanding and hiring in the crash investigative teams. They are going to need a lot more folks out there picking up body parts and wreckage.
