3 Ways to Make Flying More Climate-Friendly | Ryah Whalen | TED
Air travel opens our eyes to the world, but it also comes at a high cost to the environment. Piloting us into a future of green aviation, innovator Ryah Whalen shares three ways to lower the industry’s carbon footprint through smarter designs, eco-friendly fuel and new technology — so we can continue to explore the…

One way would be to stop lying to people about aero-planes traverse…. Those are not jet fueled but air compressors. They already are pretty clean

Commercial airlines run on mostly compressed air with very little fuel used mainly during take offs. Made quick work of this. And of course needless to say “global warming” is a psyop to further enslave you, a story that is just another means to an end result.

This talk felt a little unsettling, the best way to reduce airline emissions is to reduce flying. Reduce sector growth, reduce profits. Increasing the number of flights into using any biofuel which uses an enormous amount of land is going to be disastrous. I feel disappointed that someone could research and not find suitable answers.
Capping flights to one return flight per year, above this a large price increase is used to tax frequent flyers, reduce multiple holidays but most important it would be a tax on the rich. It’s wonderful to see much more suitable solutions in the comments. Stay safe and get campaigning for change because the answers won’t come from industries tied to profit!

June 14, 2022 at 10:22 pm
As far as i know the best way to reduce emissions is not only to fly less but also return to now modern propeller engines. Those jet engines only became popular for ever faster and higher travel and with cheap oil prices allowing to burn as much fuel as possible, but planes have become slower and slower over the years to fly more efficient. And now with rising oil prices, slower flight and effiency in the focus modern propellers have the potential to drastically reduce emissions while solving a couple design problems like massive heavy engines.

This is getting old. Her argument basically contains the same few words: “sparcity, greener fuel, innovation”.
We should learn by now the world doesnt work that way. The electric car has gone first.
1. Low adaption due to high costs.
2. Supply cant keep up with battery demand.
3. Requires innovation to make electric cars available to all, and a whole lot of infrastructure to make it possible (from solar panels on every roof, to upgraded power grids, to lighter and cheaper batteries). Not to mention everything has to have a chip inside of it – and what gasses go into those processes, and what metals go into those chips?
None of this is really green.
And if you do get it done by 2050 – good luck waiting for the other markets to electrify.
No – there is one way to solve it all – and that requires carbon in the air to become a industrial resource. Massive towers stripping carbon from the air to make high demand product(s).
Hydrogen sounds great – but it ultimately needs a high voltage electrical source, so that only moves the issue – and its after water, not the carbon in the air.
Thats really the only innovation that matters – the carbonbased industrial product from the air.

I do like her idea of flying only for a good reason.
Like when you have other electrical options – such as electric trains to get you from A to B. Maybe only fly when you cross an ocean and invest into building high speed electrical rail instead?
Who says you should fly for your holiday?
Business meeting? Private jet? Nah – zoom call! THIS WHOLE VIDEO COULD VE BEEN A ZOOM CALL.

Lost all credibility when she made the comment about “pilots gunning it” to take off, the opposite is actually true using assumed temperatures to use the least power required to safely take off.

Yeah it sort of all seemed a bit off even though i couldn’t really find a point where i thought she was on.
And its real annoying cause she sais she works on these issues so for once i can exp3ct her to be able to understand the most specific and technical aspect of her work wgich is luckily not that far off from my field physics.
But i got when she said exacly that phrase, first didn’t comp7te then i vaguely remebered something about temperature being a key variable for a given plane model (think there are a few other important variables like mass and climate stuff

@Warren Semicolon you know how delayed we are on our climate action right? We have different term every decade. Kyoto protocol,Paris accords,Paris Agreement but nothing really change.. Its just an illusion were doing something, at least those powerful nations who is always there at policy making. Sagan told the congress about this in 80’s, fossil fuel industries scientists told their company that what they’re doing can cause an irreversible effect on the climate as early as 60’s,70’s.. But those fossil fuel industries ignore it, that’s not the worst part.. They fund disinformation about it. Its easy to be optimistic when you live in a country which contributed the most but affected the least by climate crisis. Try to live in vulnerable countries who contributed the least but affected the most by it. Even my country Philippines reduce its emission by half, 0.02% wouldn’t give a dent on global emissions.. Its hard when the solution to your problem depends on other countries but you see them doing nothing.. Still business as usual.. Have you seen the latest text on cop26 its highlighting that technology will save us, carbon capture etc which is proven to do nothing at all unless we reduce our emissions on fossil fuel.. It didn’t focus on reducing oil and gas, it does finally put the text “coal” in it, after 26 COPs.. 26 COPs for the coal and they called it a success, they want us to clap for them too? That’s western leadership for you
Warren Semicolon
June 16, 2022 at 3:17 pm
@WeAre Paramore dont miss mind my purpose, I totally agree with you that’s why I prefer to do my part of reducing my carbon footprint and feel align with my values. I’m not perfect but I’m a way further that the average of my country. I just hope that my way of living will be following by others and then create a massiv movement. But I cant be pessimistic and let the world going in the wall and participate massively to this acceleration. I’m maybe too optimistic, but I dont want to culpabilize because I didnt do anything at my size.
But I join you on the fact that the people with the most power to change the things are just doing the exact opposite but communicate by saying they are doing things. And that s why I dont want to be associate to these people.

I don’t understand how a 2% share of airplane travel CO2 emissions could raise up to 20% by 2050. People will take planes 10 times more often? Other emissions will go down so drastically compared to air travel, so its share will become larger?

All I hear is “leave the airline industry deal with the problem and in 30 years we should be 1/5 less bad for the planet” while we have only a few years to drastically change our habits. Another bullshit talk from a so-called “Innovation Director” of a consulting firm that advocates nothing but the perpetuation of our sick system by making it sound like they’re actually promoting change.

So much of TED seems to be dedicated to pacification of C-suite liberals. Undoubtedly, Whalen is speaking to a very real problem and discussing plausible solutions. Nonetheless, the audience’s takeaway is something to the effect of “it’s important that I be seen cringing about the catastrophic impact my carbon footprint has, but I can rest assured that someone else is working to solve the many problems caused by my continued refusal to reduce my consumption.” We are in a climate emergency — all hands on fucking deck! We are, all of us, going to be dead or dying by 2100 if we don’t go into total war levels of problem-solving in the very near future. The lack of a call to action is a complete travesty of the platform Whalen was given, and their dereliction says everything it needs to about the people calling the shots.

Why wouldn’t we focus on building high speed rail and reducing/eliminating domestic flights, which make up the majority of flights Americans take? Oh yeah, the airline industry would hate that and probably is actively lobbying against it.
