      Banning it for non essential needs isn’t when we’re facing a climate crisis that will displace millions (if not billions in the long run).

        It is when it’s not a realistic solution and there are other ways of achieving better outcomes with a greater return on investment of time and resources.

          How do you think people lived until 70 years ago? You made the choice to move far from your family, that’s a consequence that comes with that choice and you still wanting to see them means you’re ready to shift the consequence of your choices on the people who will suffer the most of climate change.

              70+ years ago people just accepted the fact that living far from their family meant they wouldn’t see each other and they would need to communicate by mail.

              The fact is you live a long distance from your family, it’s your problem and those who will be affected by climate change the most shouldn’t have to pay for it and if it’s so important to see your family then you should move back.
