What if we all stopped flying tomorrow?

Aeroplanes are an incredible form of transport that has made the world feel smaller. But they are awful for the climate. In fact, getting on a plane is one of the most carbon-intensive activities most people ever do. Planes are also difficult to decarbonise, leading many experts to argue that we need to reduce flying altogether.

But what would happen if we all suddenly stopped flying tomorrow, grounding all planes and making do with other forms of transport?
