More importantly, it does not matter how much humans talk about climate change, we never want to even face a slight inconvenience to solve it.

That is a good solution.
> we never want to even face a slight inconvenience to solve it
That depends, I would argue that changing flight schedules is not just a slight inconvenience, its more than that.
Are airlines even a big source of co2 emission when you compare it with other sources, we should be tackling the biggest emission sources not the small ones.
I am not an expert but I found this article: https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector
According to this it looks like passenger aviation accounts for around 1.5% of CO2 produced.
Additionally, according to this article: https://www.carbonindependent.org/22.html the climate impact of flights should be considered with a factor of 2-3 times their base carbon emissions, due to additional effects specific to air travel, like nitrous oxide and ozone emissions.
Even at the base rate of 1.5%, that seems high for a single activity no?
Well 1.5% is not too high if you ask me, it would be worth our time and money to tackle other emission sources which contribute 5% or more, not saying we should ignore airlines but forcing delays and harassment to airline travellers is not right.
Once pax have bought tickets, it’s harder to change the schedule without biting the hand that feeds you.
