I believe this view comes from fear and that we need to learn what people are afraid of. Giving people a chance to share their fears I believe will address this better than increased science education. The science is already clear.

On Flying...
If you are organizing people to mitigate climate change your net impact, or net carbon footprint over the long haul will be less than if you never fly, but never organize people against climate change.
In other words if you just change your own lightbulbs to act against climate change you will have a certain carbon footprint. if you organize 100 people to change their lightbulbs but do not change your own, your net impact on climate change will be greater than if you just took the stance to change your own. We need to organize people, masses of people to understand and act against human caused climate change.
While I DO NOT advocate needless flying, I prefer the organizing people model.
