Flying is truly one of the worst things an individual can do, carbon emissions-wise. These rich fucks practically fly their private jets to their backyard pools.
Achtually, a gas-powered car isn’t that far from an airplane in terms of CO2 emission per kilometer. But planes allow for long distance travels that you would never consider doing by car. It also depends how many people are in the car. Planes also produce more non-CO2 pollutants.
If you were to choose between driving X km alone in your car or take a plane, both options’ environmental impact would be quite close.

Private jets are more my concern here. Basically transporting a handful of people at best at an unreasonable energy cost.
