Should (international) air travel be greatly restricted?

Air travel is destructive to the environment, because of its high carbon footprint and release of polluants. Moreover, air travel is one of the main vectors for transmission of diseases such as covid-19.

Should air travel, especially international travel, be restricted, either via high taxes and fees or via outright bans for most categories of travel?

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
