What's at stake: The debate pits the real climate cost of flying against the freedom to travel, with a social question: who will still be able to go.
The left's argument
Flying pollutes a lot and mostly serves the better-off: its price should reflect its cost.
The centre's argument
Tax mainly short and frequent flights, where the train is a real alternative.
The right's argument
Travel is a freedom. Making flights more expensive would reserve them for the rich.
