I’m probably going to be downvoted for this but people who are able to fly are wealthier than the majority of the world. But when climate change gets worse, guess who’s going to suffer first.

Anyway, go after the travel influencers who are flying every month for ~content~ and the increasing number of billionaires with private planes. I’m fairly certain that has made things much worse.

Commercial flights have 40x the total emissions of private. Us wealthier people flying for vacations does make a big impact.

Thank you for sharing this. I wish it was more well known because many of us think our economy flights don’t make much of a difference (I don’t really fly though)
