I know plenty of scientists. Despite what your favourite media talking heads may tell you is the truth a grand total of zero of them are communists hell bent on overturning our capitalist economic system.

That said regardless of the validity of the science, if this starts catching on there will be no Aviation industry at all, which means we all will be out of a job and society will have a much lower standard of living than it once had. High Speed Trains and Bio Fuel are certainly not the solution.
Not necessarily. New jet airliners have greatly improved fuel efficiency over time. There’s no reason why it can’t continue. R&D can be conducted into new propulsion sources, electric, solar, battery that further decrease emissions. It just needs politcial will and industry cooperation to achieve it.
