I frankly don't think this would make sense. Imagine explaining the people of a country, that they aren't allowed to fly to e.g. Mallorca anymore. The acceptance would be somewhere between low and zero.

Maybe private air travel in one country, e.g. from Munich to Berlin could be reduced, but not international flights without any resistance

They should be allowed to travel, of course - but the carbon tax on flights should mean that a flight to Mallorca is a £1000 per person each way.

This is why we are screwed.

I think deep down majority knows the climate is changing, but they are not prepared to make any personal sacrifices.

I know people making changes in their lives but it does appear hopeless right now. I drive much less and will look at solar panels eventually an electric car. I know some who already did move in that direction. I can plant some trees in my yard and make better choices with consumption however, what's to stop countries who still build coal power plants or coal still being mined?

I despair. Many ppl are switching to electric cars thinking they did good, and yet they charge those same cars using energy supplied by burning fossil fuel.

I'm not completely convinced solar panels or electric cars are produced cleanly. More needs to be done about that.

How do we know for sure the energy used to make these are not adding to the problem. Even worse is that old petrol cars will usually be onsold to other countries, so emissions can't be falling?

An individual can only do so much.

Most people will bury their head in the sand. Those who take action may be pissing in the wind without realizing it.
