Flying is truly one of the worst things an individual can do, carbon emissions-wise. These rich fucks practically fly their private jets to their backyard pools.
Achtually, a gas-powered car isn’t that far from an airplane in terms of CO2 emission per kilometer per person. But planes allow for long distance travels that you would never consider doing by car. It also depends how many people are in the car. Planes also produce more non-CO2 pollutants.
If you were to choose between driving X km alone in your car or take a plane to the same destination, both options’ environmental impact would be quite close. But with carpooling, the car rapidly becomes a less bad option.
If they are similar over the distance, surely the plane will be the same if it’s carrying the same amount of people. And beyond that, even the smaller jets that we’re talking about can carry a dozen people, you’d have to start using a bus to stay comparable. The LTT one specifies up to 19 passengers.
I’m not trying to make light of private jets for individuals, but air travel is generally not as wasteful as it might seem, and it’s also a different ballgame when you start talking about trips that would have taken all day by road.
Today I feel environmentally conscious

Private jets are more my concern here. Basically transporting a handful of people at best at an unreasonable energy cost.
