Do you think air travel will be banned in the future due to high oil prices and this global warming stuff?

I think high oil prices alone will kill air travel in the not
so distant future. The Concorde SST is already dead
because of it. Boeing has built the most efficient airliner
that the technologies of dozens of countries can devise.
Richard Branson's biofuel flight is a joke, if his whole
fleet ran on nothing but biofuel, half of the farmland in
Britain would be required to grow the fuel just for his
fleet alone.

something should change its cost prohibitive not only to airlines but us small helicopter pilots its killing me financially

No. It is still the most effective way to travel and the quickest. I assume that something will be found to replace avaition fuel as we now have cars that are eco friendly.

No.... it won't be banned, but for those of you who actually believe that Man is going to turn our planet into a charcoal briquette, why not ask your government to ban unnecessary air travel such as:

Air travel to all NCAA events
MLB
NFL
NHL
NASCAR
Olympics
Disney World
Spring Breaks
Climate Conferences (ie. to Bali luxury resorts)
etc......etc........

Maybe for you and me, certainly not for elite jetset AGW conferences in Bali.

We'll simply return to the use of dirigibles. Air travel is essential to maintain this "modern age" of man.

No.. there will most likely be an alternative fuel or an alternative way to travel.

No, though if it were, you can bet those doing the banning would still be flying, as they reek of hypocrisy.
