Climate scientists reveal that the wealthy are using private jets like taxis, causing a staggering 46% rise in carbon dioxide emissions between 2019 and 2023. Each private flight generates more emissions in one hour than an average person does in a year, with 2023 estimates showing 15.6 million tonnes of CO2 produced by these flights. This phenomenon highlights the extravagant travel habits of the ultra-rich, who constitute just 0.003% of the global population. The research points to rising demand and post-pandemic travel limitations as factors for this increase, raising concerns about sustainability and climate responsibility.
