Scientist RebellionActivists and scientists from @SRTurtleIsland, @xrsfbay & @stopOAKexpansn are taking action at the private jet terminal at Oakland International Airport, California. They aim to draw attention to the huge harm caused by the tiny percentage of people who use private jets.
As reported by @ABC, "Private jet-setters are the reason every Super Bowl comes with super-size air traffic. Officials expect over 1,000 additional planes to descend on metropolitan Phoenix's eight airports".
“Elon Musk's private Gulfstream G650ER emitted an estimated 1900 metric tonnes of CO2 in 2022, often flying to or from this airport. That's as much as 100 average Americans or 3,000 average Bangladeshi citizens emit in a year," says Dr. Greg Spooner.
He continues, "This kind of extravagant, climate-damaging pollution is unnecessary, unjust, and we are calling for an end to it."

I am 100 % with you supporting bans of private jets.
But not because the emissions are so large in absolute numbers (they pollute a lot compared to human humans, and it is so ridiculously unnecessary) but because private jets are a wonderful symbol of inequal distribution of wealth AND environmental destruction. Although ridiculous, the largest emissions are not caused so much by the lifestyle of these sad and hollow persons, but by their investments.
I see 4 options
1) Business as usual: governments and corporations continue to lead us on the path of destruction, selling the wellbeing of billions and our ecosystems literally for a handful of dollars.
2) rich people notice (with a little help from activists) that they have to put there money into more sustainable imvestments.
3) investments and financial markets get strongly regulated (governments get helped by activists), investments become more sustainable.
4) wealth is distributed and we achieve a wellbeing economy. 
Option 4 is the most coherent one, but I wouldn't be too unhappy with a (quick!) transition including at least initially option 2 and 3.
Derek Caelin is writing a book@ScientistRebellion Good reminder that billionaires are super consumers, but every day residents of developed and wealthy nations also consume too much.
W6KME@ScientistRebellion There are some surprising names on the list of people who are even worse. It's all obscene.
