Majority of private jets carrying 3 passengers or less, releasing 10 times as much carbon per passenger than a commercial flight.
As a peasant, I don't think reducing my carbon footprint will offset the disgusting (increasing) display of greed from the elites.
Perhaps the greatest scam the rich ever pulled off was convincing the common people that climate change is somehow our fault instead of theirs. A single billionaire harms the earth an order of magnitude more in a single year than most small towns will in a decade
Source needed!
Well for example, I read the other day that 1 in 10 flights taking off from the UK are private jets.
That’s funny and made me chuckle but it doesn’t substantiate the claim made.
Hahahahhaha
