Our poor planet. We just dump carbon into it at ridiculous levels and act like it's normal. How many people from San Fran really have to be in Dubai? Just ridiculously selfish and shortsighted.

While I agree about dumping carbon up there, Dubai is Emirates' hub, so people going from anywhere in Asia to San Francisco and vice-versa have connections flights at Dubai.

Few people have it as a destination. Most passengers will be Asians visiting family in the US or going home from the US.

Idk, the travel we all take for granted comes at a price. I don't want anyone to not see their family. But global warming is here, it's a bitch, and it isn't going to get fairer. Al Gore said it best, it's an inconvenient truth....
