    Right so the rest of us should suffer when there is a low hanging fruit we can pick.

    This isn’t about punishing people. You want CO2 to go down? Go for the easy wins before you go after the harder to achieve ones. A ban on private jets would hurt effectively none of the human race. There are over 8 billion of us. It wouldn’t even impact a percent of a percent. But yeah if given the option of taking someone in developing world’s motorcycle away or make Bezos have to fly first class I know which I am picking.

      Interesting how so many people here want to ignore the rich people who got rich off destroying the environment and instead want normal people to pay the price for their greed and destruction.
