In my specific case, I was looking into travels between Beppu (Japan) and Osaka. There is a direct ferry line, but other routes exist of course (also trains).

I wonder how a ferry and a plane would compare

    I don’t think anyone wants to actually abolish all air travel, even for emergencies.
    The same argument is always thrown at people opposing cars. “But what about ambulances?”
    The tiny carbon footprint of emergency services doesn’t matter at all for the global climate.
    What matters are the millions of flights whose only purpose is to fly people to another continent, where they then lie next to a hotel pool for a week before flying back.
