Remember when all those politicians, actors, and activists went to that global climate change meeting on private planes?

Rich ppl will do nothing if it even inconveniences them a smidgen.

People like to point at rich people on planes but really it's actually the car dependency and carnism that are destroying the planet.

Interesting article. Newer numbers (2023) are 37.200 Mt CO~2~ yearly human civilisation output. "Private" cars count around 10% of that (which to my knowledge includes vans driven by tradesmen and "independent" delivery drivers among other uses, vastly distorting the impact of individual car ownership), aviation between 2 and 20% depending on which "emissions factor" the counting organization attaches to it. The IEA numbers vary between 2-4%.
