[1] You are mixing up carbon footprint and climate responsibility. You’re allocating 100% of the responsibility of the carbon footprint associated with these flights to the individuals. In your world, airlines that are operating these flights have 0% responsibility, also 0% responsibility for manufacturers who design and build combustion engine aircrafts and 0% responsibility on governments that are massively subsidizing fossil energies. All of these people did not expect your support.

[2] You are aiming at an undefined target. “Digital Nomad” is not a scientifically defined category. So you are conceptualizing your own mental construct of what it is. We can grasp that in your mind, a “Digital Nomad” is a citizen AND resident of a western country that goes to Bali to work for a few months. After 8 years living in South-East Asia, my understanding of this archetype is very different. These remote workers are by a crushing majority, vegan, non-smokers, don’t have a car, don’t have a heating system, don’t consume single-use plastic, only eat locally grown vegetables, and stay years in their host country (not just a few weeks). They actually have a much lesser carbon footprint than animal-eating populations that are not travelling to work remotely – leaving aside their plastic footprint, water footprint, biodiversity footprint.

Again I really enjoy reading you and if these two points above are aspects that you have already thought through and consciously dismissed, I’d be very curious to understand why.
