Private chefs even? Really?
Apparently more people here agree than disagree.
I think owning a small plane is fine. I'm not officially against owning a larger plane... Idk..
Aviation makes up about 2% of global CO2 emissions which is a lot but also not a lot. It's not the smaller planes, it's all of the passenger and cargo jets (mostly).
Thank you! While reducing CO2 is important, harping on private planes isn't going to make a change.
We as in you and me? Try our best to reduce waste, things that contribute to carbon emission, and plant some crops that put nutrients back in the soil. Donate some money to charities and institutions that further environments science research.
We as a country and international effort? Long term policy changes like carbon taxes. The 1%s and politically well connected finally being personally inconvinenced by climate change. About when the sea water rises to destroy their private villas and beach getaways is when some real progress will start to get made. 3rd world countries will hopefully transition from burning fossil fuel to cleaner energy
