yeah that pretty much checks out. The best solution to climate change is to kill shit like private jets and yachts. But that’s unlikely to happen.

I severely doubt those emissions are anything but negligible because there are so few yachts and jets.

What’s an easier solution, in your opinion? Getting the ultra wealthy to give up their yachts and jets (by getting rid of the ultra wealthy entirely, which also addresses the evils of capitalism), or convincing hundreds of millions of people to change just about everything about the diet they’ve been eating for tens of thousands of years?

That’s actually a good question. Considering the political power the ultra-rich wield, I’m not sure. But I think we should focus what brings the most bang for the buck.

wait until you find out about all of the infrastructure and build costs for these things.
realistically we should do everything, but transit is one of the significant providers of emissions, along with power production and agriculture.
