    Having the public lose trust in the safety of flying is something I absolutely want to happen. This will have devastating effects on carbon emissions, and push more people (and governments) towards trains.

      Devastating is a bit of an exaggeration with it being responsible for a whooping 3% (at most) of emissions and arguably helping raise the albedo a bit with their contrails.

      So it would help a bit, it wouldn’t be a game changer though (except if you live near an airport, sound is another pollution that’s often ignored).
