Are you on iphone? You can definitely do this on Firefox Android, not sure about iOS (but I would guess you can)
Heck, Safari has a reader mode too.

This got me wondering: Are there that many flights that their emissions alone would be problematic (assuming all other forms of emissions are eliminated with EVs and other green energy sources)?

“In 1930, there was no way to detect [hydrogen]—it was a tasteless, odorless, invisible gas,” Prentice says, noting that today you can buy handheld detectors on Amazon that are capable of sensing hydrogen in parts per million. “Hydrogen will not burn at anything less than four parts per hundred, so long before you get to any risk of a fire with hydrogen, you can ventilate the area… Hydrogen is much harder to burn than people think.”

We should strap a nuclear reactor to one and use it for cargo that is dangerous.

I’ve been reading stories about the return of airships all my life. Unless they make them weatherproof, it’s not happening.

I’m entirely on board with this, figuratively but also literally, if given the opportunity. It would be a blast to ride one of these things long distance. As far as cargo goes, I’d like to see a comparison on volume- if it can carry more cargo, it might still out-perform faster cargo planes just for sheer tonnage.

Any links to a non paywalled article?

Ahhh, much better. Thank you.
Any time you need to bypass a paywall just copy the link to the wayback machine.
Or just open it in Firefox and click the reader mode button.

Yes.
You have a MASSIVE assumption in there honestly.
About 3.5% of the effects of climate change in 2022. So, yes.
Of course, there are all. Those. Chem trails
To be fair, water vapor is a chemical.
Big electric zeppelins could replace some shipping as well.

Douglas Adams had such a gift for drawing the scene.
Well this one is a quote from the irreplaceable Zapp Brannigan (Futurama)
True, as did Terry Pratchett.
Utterly irrelevant here, but true nonetheless.
