ʻO ka Airlines no ʻAmelika, ʻo A4A, i hoʻopuka i kekahi mau paheʻe, e hōʻike hou ana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka ʻoihana mokulele he ʻano ʻoihana ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa a hui pū i kahi manawa lōʻihi i ka ʻae ʻana i kahi mea i kapa ʻia ʻo CORSIA, ka Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, ʻO CORSIA, e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana o ka carbon neutral i ka mokulele, e hoʻomaka ana ma 2021. A ʻo ka manaʻo i laila e hoʻemi i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o CO2 e 50% e 2050, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā pae 2005.

He aha kēlā manaʻo? ʻAe, i ka makahiki 2005, ua lawe nā mokulele i ka huina o 2.1 biliona mau ohua. Ma ka makahiki 2019, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka helu o nā poʻe kaʻa ma mua o 4.6 biliona a ua nalowale ka ulu ʻana, wikiwiki loa i ka 2020, ʻoiaʻiʻo, i kēia lā ke hoʻi nei mākou i nā pae 2005 e pili ana i nā helu kaʻa. He hōʻemi koʻikoʻi ia, ʻaʻole ia e noho ma laila, manaʻolana. Akā ʻo ka mea nui, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kēia lā, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o 30%, mahalo i ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā ʻenekini mokulele, a i kekahi mau hihia, nā kaʻina hana. No laila, ke hele nei mākou i kahi, akā i ka manawa e hoʻomaka ai kēlā ulu wikiwiki, hiki i kekahi mea.

ʻO ka mea maikaʻi, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o nā mokulele ma lalo o nā pae 2019, no kekahi mau makahiki e hiki mai ana. ʻO ka honua holo lōʻihi, no ka laʻana, e lohi loa ka hoʻi ʻana. ʻO nā manaʻo manaʻo paha, i kēia makahiki ma kahi kiʻekiʻe, 50% o ka lōʻihi, ʻo ia ka hana ākea-kino, e hoʻi mai. A ʻo kēlā mau hana i ka makahiki 2019, nā hana lōʻihi o ke kino ākea, ua helu ʻia ma kahi o 40% o ka nui o nā hoʻokuʻu. Ma ka lawe ʻana i ka hapalua o ia mea mai ka hoʻohālikelike, ke nānā nei mākou ma laila wale nō, he 20% ka hoʻemi ʻana i nā hoʻokuʻu, nui loa.

No laila, ʻo ka mea a mākou e kamaʻilio nei, no ka emi ʻana o ka huakaʻi a me ka lele ʻana, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, e hoʻomaha ʻia ke kaomi e hoʻemi i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka wā pōkole. A i ʻole, a ʻo ia nō paha ka hihia, e ulu aʻe ke kaomi e mālama i nā hoʻokuʻu i ka pae like me lākou i kēia manawa, ʻo ia ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ke kumu no ka ulu ʻana. Manaʻo wau he mea liʻiliʻi paha ka hopena o ia mau mea ʻelua, akā me ka nui o ka haʻalulu ma ka pae ʻelua.

Ua hoʻopuka ʻo Bill Gates i kahi puke i kapa ʻia ʻo How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. A ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i nā mea noʻonoʻo he nui. ʻAʻole pono, ma kēia hoʻopaʻapaʻa, he manaʻo maikaʻi ke loaʻa ʻo Bill Gates ma kou ʻaoʻao, no ka mea, loaʻa iā ia ka nui o ka pushback mai nā mea he nui, akā hana ʻo ia i nā mea kūpono i ka pōʻaiapili mokulele, manaʻo wau. ʻO ka mea mua, ʻaʻole lawa ke kālā, ka manawa, a i ʻole ka manaʻo politika e hoʻoponopono hou i ka ʻoihana ikehu i 10 mau makahiki. No laila, ke ho'āʻo nei e hoʻokō i nā pahuhopu hiki ʻole, e hoʻopaʻi wale i ka honua i ka loaʻa ʻole o ka manawa pōkole. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻokuʻu kalapona, a he mea nui kēia mai kā mākou hiʻohiʻona kaʻa, ʻaʻole e hele ka hoʻokuʻu kalapona i ka zero ma o ka poʻe lele lele a i ʻole ka hoʻokele liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka mea e pono ai, e hoʻololi nui i nā mea, he ala holistic. ʻO ia ke ʻano o nā ala kalapona ʻole e hana ai i ka uila, e hana i nā mea, e ulu i ka meaʻai, e mālama i ko mākou hale i ka maʻalili a me ka mahana, a e hoʻoneʻe i nā kānaka a me nā waiwai a puni ka honua.

ʻO ke koʻikoʻi, pono nā kānaka e hoʻololi i ke ʻano o kā lākou hana ʻana. A ʻo nā mea hewa ʻino loa, a me nā mea e pono e hoʻololi hou aku, ʻo ke kila, ka ʻiʻo, a me ka sima. ʻO ka hana ʻana i ke kila a me ka sima wale nō e pili ana i ka 10% o nā hoʻokuʻu honua āpau, a me ka pipi wale nō, no 4%. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i haʻi, akā aia paha, ʻo kēlā ʻano hana no kahi ma kahi o 10%. ʻO kēia nā wahi āpau e hiki ke loli nui i kahi pae pilikino, hiki iā mākou ke hana i nā mea ʻokoʻa. Akā ʻōlelo ʻo ia, e like me ka ʻōlelo a Bill Gates, pono ka manaʻo i nā loli radical e pono ai i ka halihali, nā hale, nā ʻoihana, ka moʻomeheu, a me ka politika. ʻAʻohe hanana hoʻokahi, wahi āna, hiki ke hoʻoponopono i kēlā mau mea āpau.

Mai kahi wahi mokulele, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Microsoft i kahi laʻana me Alaska Airlines, no ka laʻana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bill Gates, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopau i ke kanu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau, ke lilo nei ia i mea ʻike ʻole ʻia a nalowale paha i kona kūlana maikaʻi akā hoʻopau ʻia ma ke kūʻai ʻana i ka wahie mokulele hoʻomau. E like me kāna i ʻōlelo ai, ʻo kekahi hiʻohiʻona o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kūʻai ʻana e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā uku ʻōmaʻomaʻo e pili ana i ka ʻoihana mokulele. ʻO kāu hui, a ke kamaʻilio nei ʻo ia e pili ana i nā ʻoihana e like me Microsoft, hiki ke hoʻopau i nā hoʻokuʻu ʻana mai ka huakaʻi a nā limahana ma ke kūʻai ʻana i ka wahie mokulele hoʻomau no nā mile a lākou e lele ai. Hoʻokumu ia i ke koi no nā wahie maʻemaʻe, e ʻimi ana i nā mea hou aʻe ma ia wahi, a hoʻolilo i nā hoʻokuʻu huakaʻi i mea nui i nā hoʻoholo ʻoihana o kāu hui. No laila, ua kau inoa ʻo Microsoft a me Alaska Airlines i kahi kuʻikahi e like me kēia no kekahi o nā ala a lākou e lele ai i 2020, a ʻo ia no ka mea hoʻohana nui ʻo Microsoft iā Alaska Airlines.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

The Airlines For America, A4A, recently put out some slides, just recapitulating the fact that the airline industry was unique as an industry globally and coming together a long time ago in agreeing something called CORSIA, the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, CORSIA, which talks in terms of a carbon neutral growth in aviation, beginning in 2021.
It’s not necessarily, in this argument, a good idea to have Bill Gates on your side, because he does get a lot of pushback from many, but he makes several relevant points in the aviation context, I think.
I think the outcome is probably likely to be a bit of both of those, but with a lot of tension on the second level.
