I'm confused, you ay that it isn't any worse for the climate, then you explain how it is worse for the climate?
On a per-pax basis, it's likely a bit better than a full-service airline. But if the pricing substantially increases air traffic, it's worse.
But there are a ton of assumptions in those two statements.
