Article is in italian I couldn't find any news about this in english but i believe it's really important to share.
"Sono attesi dagli 80 ai 90 aerei all’aeroporto Marco Polo di Venezia. Jet privati da Los Angeles, New York, Londra e Dubai scaricheranno in laguna un carico scintillante di star, imprenditori, supermodelle, influencer e tycoon. Il traffico aereo privato sarà talmente intenso da richiedere un coordinamento speciale tra l'aeroporto di Venezia e gli scali di riserva a Verona e Treviso. "
Translation:
"80 to 90 planes are expected at Venice's Marco Polo airport. Private jets from Los Angeles, New York, London and Dubai will unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels, influencers and tycoons into the lagoon. Private air traffic will be so intense that it will require special coordination between Venice airport and the reserve stopovers in Verona and Treviso. "
Won't someone rid me of these pesky Sociopathic Oligarchs?

If you compute it per person I suspect a billionaire is probably producing (just due to flights) about 10000 to 50000 more than an average traveller (couple international flights a year).
To be honest the planet does not care how you compute it.
Quick google-fu said private jets are about 1,8% of the total airtravel pollution. If you want whats good for the earth, focus on the half empty and empty commercial flights that big airlines do because they want to keep their hangar places. That makes much bigger part of the overall pollution.
I say: let the rich fly, just make it so they pay enough taxes for it compencate for it.

Well that sounds efficient.

This is where God gets to prove he's real, and he's on the side of the people. If it's true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.
If that happens, I'll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That's what it will take.
I'll go with you.
I'm still going to want to have a hard talk with God about why She allows cancer babies and such...

Italy is also home of the people who responded to that regime by dragging Mussolini and his wife's bodies after their assassination across the country back to Milan, where they were unceremoniously dumped in a town square to be humiliated and desecrated, then hung on girders above a service station in the square by their ankles until they fell and subsequently were buried in unmarked graves.
Inspiring.
If only alk fascists died that way... -
BTW, you don't need a subscription for the Zoe. You can either buy the battery or rent it, but there's no subscription.
rent it, but there's no subscription.
I'm confused by your semantics.

Subscription: pay for functionality or services. Like Netflix, Amazon Ring, Adobe Suite, Tesla Enhanced Autopilot, BMW heated seats, etc
Rent: use a physical object without buying it, paying per month: an apartment, an office, a car on vacation, the battery for your car if you are afraid of the FUD.

It will be sad for all the art and historical artifacts. But (the) god(s) can make the funniest entertainment for them and the world

He will cheat on her while she does the pool boy. It's the new/old thing for the rich.

The planet does not care about taxes either.
The reason per person footprint is important because we can't just turn off all pollution. We have to gradually reduce it.
You can't just say to your country "by the way, we just banned fossil fuels", that will just result in you dead and a pro-pollution guy being in charge of the country next day.
The way to reduce pollution is to get more output from the same input. That is, efficiency.
Private jets are incredibly inefficient and are used by an extremely low percentage of the population. There's no reason to keep that 1.8% just to satisfy 0.0001% of the population.

They're both monthly fees.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Oh no I am fully on board with this. But it still boils to the same source of governments serving the interest of the rich rather than the remaining people. Airplane companies pushing agendas and asking for government incentives while governments say they really care about the planet but not making enough effort to make train travel cheaper (international per mile especially) than flying. Fucking hell they should incentivize the hell out of it so that it becomes cheap as chips and people take flights only for long distances. So yes commercial flights are definitely also a part of the problem.

"I'm not super familiar with the lifestyles of the rich and famous. What, exactly, does a pool boy even do?"
"Uhhhh... The wife."

Just to walk you trough my reasoning.
Change needs money. That 1,8% can generates lots of money that can be used to fight pollution in other ways. We could easily rise the taxation and that 1,8% could turn in to 1,5% or something.
If we start to ban private jets conpletelly by changings laws, it will be long process and even if one country bans it there will always be poor countries or tax heavens that will find a way to enable it. It will turn in to a game of aviation wack-a-mole and the gran price of that work will be 1,8% reduce in emission.
On the other hand we could make bigger impact from commercial side while not losing tax revenue as much. Its hard to get real numbers but its likely ghost flights alone are close to same pollution as private jets, not to mention that average commercial flights has only 80% of the seats filled.
So my thinking in short is that any impact with banning private jets is dwarfed by anything done in the commercial side.
And im not saying private jets are good. Im against those. People just need to understand that they are very minor part of the aviation pollution.
