So once everything everything out you're left with the 500 million
tons of CO2 that aircraft pump out each year.

That's about the same as emissions from petroleum and natural gas in the
UK alone.

Oh ok , if you're going to play that game then why worry about any form of
pollution since none of them individually come close to the total? I'm sure
there's a name for that sort of deceptive argument but I can't remember what
its called.

Petrol and natural gas are quite close to being "single targets", and I
agree that we should consider ways to reduce consumption of both of
them.
