Is giving up flying the best way to stop climate change?

I start sweating nervously every time I read about how air travel impacts the environment.
Now more than ever, we need to find ways to understand our world.
Having lived abroad for more than 20 years, I take a plane as if it were a city bus, worrying only about how to get from A to B as quickly as possible.

And yet I know there are very valid arguments for why we should substantially reduce aeroplane journeys, or stop flying altogether.

Their fate could depend entirely on the weather forecast.
