I invite you to ponder the question: would a worldwide ban of all advertising have a greater or smaller impact on environment-destroying activity than banning of all air travel?

I would argue for "greater", and from that it rather naturally follows that advertisement and marketing indeed kills humanity.

Can we un-confound those factors? Advertising sells us cheap plane trips, and it looks like leisure is reason for the majority of flights.

Sure but its just people buying things.. so what?

Billions of people buying things has unintended negative consequences. Advertising exists to amplify desire to increase buying.

It doesn't take a high intelligence to perceive the problem.
