Comparing fright and person transport seams a bittle apple to oranges.
Emission per passenger-kilometer is the only sane way to compare person transport.
Fright should probably be separated into essenstials and luxury, but we all have our yearly footprint.
Ok then, passenger air travel is still releasing a whole lot more emissions than private jets, people stopping to travel all over during their vacations would have a much bigger impact.
There are a lot more people on a regular plane then on a private jet. So emissions per person-kilometer is not higher.
While obviously the total objective number of co2 equivalents will be higher for mass transit then for luxury jets for the super rich. That does not mean they get a free pass because there are fewer of them.
Putting a price on polution, where the poluter have to pay the real global cost, and not outsource that cost to society would be a great thing. But getting all countries in the world to agree to a common scheme seems impossible.
I never said they get a free pass, I said they barely represent anything when looking at air travel as a whole, don’t put words in my mouth.
Also, four people in a Chevy Suburban with a big V8 pollute less to travel the same distance compared to doing it in a passenger plane.
There’s a whole lot of hypocrisy from people who travel the world and complain about pollution… Or simply, people who moved cross country to continue their education when a similar college/university exists much closer to where their family is, meaning they wouldn’t have to take the plane many times every year to travel back home.
Complain about private jets, put the same people in passenger planes instead and the impact will be fuck dick.
