Articles like this are almost infuriating, in most cases it's lazy journalism highlighting a problem or grievance from an angle or statistic some journalist finds "interesting" without giving any thought to a reasonable solution.

The only solutions I've seen are "everyone should travel less" basically making the proposition that poor people don't deserve air travel or making grandiose claims about building huge high speed rail networks. The rail networks bit is ironic since building them wouldn't solve any energy production or distribution carbon emissions and would likely just take money that should be spent on research into promising renewable sources.
