I could just sit next to a volcano as it's erupting.

That's a fair argument, but whether you believe in human induced climate change or not, most governments are under pressure to reduce carbon emissions and aviation is an easy target. Seems kind of silly to me since there isn't really any viable alternatives, unlike coal replaced with wind, solar, hydro electric and / or nuclear.

First of all, that's carbon MONoxide. Carbon DIOxide feeds all living vegetation on earth. Second I find it awfully hypocritical of pilots who burn thousands of tons of fossil fuels every year to make their living to preach this. Which is it John Kerry, jets good or bad? sounds like the classic rules for thee but not for me mentality.

Who's preaching anything? I could work for Philip Morris and still say that smoking cigarettes is bad for you. Doesn't make anyone a hypocrite. I couldn't care less if John Kerry flies an A380 or gets around on a pogo stick.

Or we could just grow a spine and tell the climate change alarmist cult to go pound sand?

So because pilots fly jets that produce CO2 emissions, we all just need to bury our heads in the sand and pretend greenhouse gases aren’t a problem?? That’s genius!!
You should go walk outside so all the trees and plants can thank you for your contributions.

"Greenhouse gasses" aren't a problem.

Do you mind providing your credentials to make such a statement? Parroting what you saw on OAN doesn't count.

Will you open your mind long enough to watch a Prager U vid featuring an OBAMA Administration pooh bah?

Climate changing? Yes. Overblown? Absolutely.

Climate is dynamic, always has been. What causes it? Many factors, some more than others. Are humans having an effect? Dunno, doesn't seem like it, unlikely but not impossible. Do we understand it enough to base policy on or even have reliable models? Nope, absolutely not.
