While I personally prefer a full-service airline, I'll say that the ULCC model isn't any worse for the climate as such. If anything, flying a few more pax for the same amount of fuel is probably a bit better. What is potentially not good, though, is excessive growth (however that is defined!) in air travel, and ULCC pricing might certainly encourage that.
