Good, less flying, less pollution, or is that what they really intend????

Lower pollution from airplanes is only a side effect. What about the
increase from automobiles which surely must be the mode of
transportation some/most will switch to if at all feasible. In the
end, this may result in a net increase.

Maybe someone will do or has done an analysis on this.
