The chosen topic is Norwegian perceptions of climate change and air travel behaviors, as air travel has been identified as a rapidly growing contributor to overall CO2 emissions for climate change. Specially, with long one way flight exceeding annual per capita sustainable emission levels in comparison with the other transportations for tourism, such as rail, road and sea-based passenger modes, air travel is furthermore the most harmful for the climate system.
