True. Next, don't forget that airplanes cover about 3x the distance as cars per hour. So, per mile they are on par with bad cars, and about 2x normal cars.
Look, this is peanuts compared to everyday consumption by the world.

Should we? We could easily do that. Just stop cars and busses and trains and planes and heating and the production of medicine and everything else.
Oh, our life would be much worse.
As a matter of fact, we should not aim for "the absolute minimisation of fossil fuels". Not at all. It is dispiriting for me to learn that you believe such primitive nonsense.
Seriously, you need to learn the basics of economics and trade-offs and all that.
