I am writing to urge that you discontinue encouraging jet air travel on your website and instead encourage travelers to take the train instead.
The science is in, climate change induced by global warming will change life as we know it on earth.
Pardon the pun, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand how thousands of jets burning kerosene by the ton could have an impact on our atmosphere. Visible evidence commonly known as contrails is readily available on any clear day, and scientific studies conclude the greenhouse effect attributable to jets is two to five times that of other forms of transportation burning the same amount fuel.

YOUR travel choice matters.
We don't have time to not have time.
Trains use half as much energy and don't leave contrails.
Jet contrails and emissions double the greenhouse effect of burning fossil fuels on the surface.
Most locomotives in service now could readily run on vegetable oil pulling trains in excess of 100 MPH.
