Private jets are a luxury for the ultra-rich who wreck the planet with destructive lifestyles.

North America (basically the USA) is home to more private jets than all other regions of the world COMBINED.

Private jets are ~10 times more polluting per passenger than scheduled flights, and 50 times more than an average train ride.

It's time to #BanPrivateJets

@breadandcircuses Where does 50 times more than the average train ride come from?

My back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest it should be hundreds or thousands of times more polluting, not 50!

(which, of course, doubles down on the point you're making)
