I bet you could with such nonsense. You might have noticed that we are dependent on a complex ecosystem that is comprised of organisms that are continually adapting, but at a VERY SLOW rate. This isn't simply a matter of flooding, storms and weather patterns. If the rate of change exceeds organisms ability to adapt (see coral reef bleaching) then very bad things happen like famine, war, mass human migrations, etc. On the other hand energy dependence and decentralization leads to all kinds of positive outcomes.

Aviation is a very small part of the problem and solar is a better for all sorts of other applications. Biofuels is better for aviation.
