Airlines are pragmatic. Each, inherently, is a sizable organization, as a degree of scale is
necessary due to the massive capital costs needed to, quite literally, get a plane off the ground. There are no mom-and-pop airlines. Therefore, airlines have the resources to analyze choices to a far greater level of detail than most businesses. Any decision that we, the public, see has passed through such a level of review, such a level of scrutiny, that it must mean
something. Airlines typically don't make emotional, informal, or off-the-cuff decisions. Therefore, it's odd how much airlines care about climate change because, from a theoretical perspective, they shouldn't. It doesn't currently make sense for airlines to care about climate change.
