Then maybe, just maybe, we should start canceling short distance flights?

Would also be a little bit less CO2 pumped out for a while.

    I don't know what's "short distance" for you, but a flight from Zagreb to Amsterdam takes about 2 hours.

    Using public transportation on the same route is 20+ hours at best and you need to switch between bus and train four times. Driving is 10+ hours.

    Maybe, just maybe, we should stop immediately providing kerosine to private jets first? And droping subsidies for jet fuel and financing public transport instead?
