Sir, we’re talking about boats.
10 MUSD boats made from graphite epoxy composite and quite a few tons of lithium batteries. And the support infrastructure. And the sum of activities on the cruise. Plus other stuff people who buy such trinkets engage in.
There are peer reviewed publications quantifying that, with some surprising numbers in them. The golden billion has an outsized footprint, but the elites have a hockey stick shaped contribution distribution there.
Cool story, bro. You hate boats and the people that enjoy them. We get it.
