Well, maybe the criminality isn't obvious in your own life (or mine). But to a person who lives on, say, Tuvalu, I'd imagine it's a lot more obvious, even if it is "death by a billion small cuts".

So "lovers of flying" should just push environmental costs onto other people not just by not paying carbon taxes, but even by paying no fuel taxes whatsoever?

And why don't I "mean it"? As far as I know, there are already some investigations in progress against major oil companies.

Polluting it's like firing a shotgun with tiny bullets in the air.

People are being killed by pollution, both directly and indirectly.

But the bullets are invisible and the financial interests are very big so most people accept it as a necessary evil...
