What an amazing project by a 17-year old https://climatejets.org/
Private Jet Emissions - ClimateJets

Ever wondered about the carbon emissions of the ultra-rich? Explore the climate implications of private aircraft at ClimateJets.

@bastianallgeier Egons gonna hate he’s so far down
@janl hahah, yeah I was also pretty disappointed by his poor performance.
@bastianallgeier @fs111 great chart. However the first thing on it that shocked me was the "reference" of FIFTEEN TONS of CO2 per American and per year. Private jets should be banned, but Spring Break / Thanksgiving flights too.
@turb @fs111 we are at 11 tons in Germany which still is insane.
@bastianallgeier @fs111 yep, the main issue is presenting it as something "regular".
@bastianallgeier @mikebrew I predict new bills that will prevent people from identifying the 1% and linking them with their flights.
@bastianallgeier you know what struck me when I scrolled through that list? Two names you never see on such lists are Keanu Reeves and Dolly Parton. Fame is such an ivory tower of loneliness that the really famous cannot do with the walls of first class, they need their own jet.

@bastianallgeier 15.5 tonnes is — ridiculously high.

As to the rest, that’s environmental crime, straight up. These people deserve a Dickensian expierience - earth past, present, future. At least.

@bastianallgeier The question is also how many jets a single billionaire needs?
@bastianallgeier @gedeonm That’s so cool! Also, remember when people were going off at #TaylorSwift for using her private jet? She’s *way* down the list - even behind a bunch of other artists. But they’re all men so I guess it’s ok?
@donkey @bastianallgeier @gedeonm also her jet was used a lot by her family too. Obviously still not okay in terms of emissions, but she got blamed for other people's journeys
@Vivp_5 Yeah - you can see it was just for the clicks and outrage machine.
@bastianallgeier
Yesterday I woke up with a simple idea in my head: with more #SocialJustice we could solve - among other things - #ClimateEmergency.
Perhaps those who talk about #degrowth are complicating everything unnecessarily, and it would be much easier to talk about social justice.
@bastianallgeier The world would be so much better off without the Murdoch family, in plenty of ways.
@bastianallgeier Damn those 17 year olds and their real-time data capabilities. If it hadn't been for those pesky kids; etc etc.
@Lorry super annoying. Why can’t they just take drugs and be useless like in the good old days?
@bastianallgeier Pretty sure they still take drugs and are still useless. ;-/ @Lorry
@bastianallgeier how that graph scales on mobile when scrolling is so fluid! very nice!
@paul @bastianallgeier well, it would be nice if it had any figures on the axis: once the full extent of the axis is offscreen it's meaningless as a screenshot
@bastianallgeier Ah yes, Sir Richard Branson. Airline for thee, private jet for me.
