Even the Swedes?

In 2018, the Swedish government imposed a tax on flying. The intention was to curb the 'greenhouse gas' emissions from jet engines. Now, they have just cut these taxes, in spite of admitting that emissions will climb (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/19/sweden-cuts-flying-tax-emissions). Flying by jet is a major source of climate-altering emissions. Weirdly, jet fuels are, on a global basis, untaxed (unlike petrol and diesel for cars). The Swedish tax change is clearly retrograde but it seems certain the national carrier has been pointing out the penalty impacts on them and not other airlines. We need to get to a situation where taxes on passengers and fuel, are designed to limit air travel. We need international agreements and actions. Leaving the possibility of undercutting by budget airlines isn't a viable option!
