Wow: 47% of all CO2 emissions from aviation ever were emitted after 2000 https://easa.europa.eu/eco/eaer

And in case you're wondering: yes, aviation emissions have grown faster than population and emissions in other sectors https://twitter.com/giulio_mattioli/status/1604763605974585346

“Between 1990 and 2018: Global population: ⬆️1.2%/year CO2 emissions (all sectors): ⬆️1.3%/yr Transport emissions: ⬆️2.1%/yr Road transport emissions: ⬆️1.9%/yr Domestic aviation emissions: ⬆️⬆️2.8%/yr International aviation emissions: ⬆️⬆️2.7%/yr https://t.co/5M9V7KgUtY”

@giulio_mattioli kind of goes with the "we didn't have all these chemtrails in the '90s, governments are obviously doing something fishy", as people generally ignore the aviation industry boom of the 2000s
@giulio_mattioli this is only up to 2019, so adding the past 3 years we're probably already over 50%.

1989. First World Climate Conference 🔴

1990. First IPCC Assesment Report 🔴

1995. First UN Climate Change Conference 🔴

2005. Kyoto Protocol entered into force 🔴

¿2015. Paris Agreement adopted?

@giulio_mattioli Here's hoping that in our age of atmospheric CO2 saturation, resource depletion, and never ending pandemics, that our obsession with air travel, will be short lived.
@giulio_mattioli That doesn't astonish me at all. Making train travel politically ridiculously expensive but subsidizing no frills airlines by taxpayers needing to pay them to actually land at their airports. And yes nearly all governments in Europe do this.
@giulio_mattioli Low cost flights era, I guess.
@giulio_mattioli Took me a minute to find the graph from that link. Here's one that takes you right to it:

@giulio_mattioli
Interesting
However may you indicate the percentage of aviation versus the total of CO2?
The goal is to have a macro view
I found 3% do you agree?

Climate change and flying: what share of global CO2 emissions come from aviation?

Aviation accounts for around 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions, but 3.5% when we take non-CO₂ impacts on climate into account.

@giulio_mattioli Too many people are flying too much.

@giulio_mattioli This is a huge part of why electric trains make sense, even for long distances such as Australia (Where I am) and America.

Sure, the overhead lines are expensive to build and maintain for long-distances but there's ways around that: For example combining the overhead wiring with the long-distance power lines we already need to run for long distances anyway for the power grid.

@giulio_mattioli effect of low cost flights, together with gentrification.

@giulio_mattioli And this is why airline executives should be facing the same #Nuremburg process as fossil fuel executives. This is genocide, and they know perfectly well that it's genocide.

But they're happy to destroy the future of the whole human race to earn more billions in what remaind of their lives.

For the rest of you, never fly again.

@giulio_mattioli Hardly surprising. In the UK, it’s often cheaper to fly from London to Leeds, or Birmingham, or Glasgow than it is to buy a train ticket.
