We already know who to "blame", anyone not voting Green.

Consumers also have to change. Giving up meat is easy

You might need to eat food, but you don't need to eat meat.

In any case, it's not one versus the other, it's all of the above.

For international travel, there's just never going to be a better option than flying. Ships are far, far too slow. And suggesting that people not be allowed to go on holiday and experience other parts of the world would be the most out-of-touch unrealistic claim someone could make.

For domestic travel, we absolutely should have high speed rail, starting with Brisbane to Melbourne, and ideally extending up to Cairns and across to Perth eventually. But unfortunately we don't have that right now, and it's unreasonable to ask people to drive or do intercity trips on the insanely expensive yet excruciatingly slow intercity trains we have today.

But, especially since the amount of carbon emitted by Taylor Swift alone absolutely dwarfs the transport-related-pollution caused by over a thousand average folk (never mind adding in all the other billionaires and celebrities), asking individual people to sacrifice their quality of life for this just isn't going to, pardon the pun, fly.

In the short-to-medium term, the vast majority of domestic business travel could probably just be done via Teams or Zoom. And longer term, most domestic travel should be HSR. But that still leaves quite a lot of flying. And there are other places where we can have a bigger impact.

Totally agree, people, especially Australians, need to change our attitudes to our current flight systems, be it the high emissions technology, or an overall reduction in flight hours per person.

Years ago i listened to a course on energy. I might have to look up the details, but he said the absolute worst common use vehicle for emissions is jet ski's. I think he meant in regards weight to fuel expenditure ratio.
