Well first off I would suggest that they go in a submarine. Preference for one that doesn’t have all those pesky regulations in the design.
After that just put a 20,000% fuel tax on private jets. I fly commercial, and my job matters a whole lot more, so can they. If Musk or Zuck doesn’t show up to work tomorrow things would run slightly better.
We don’t need them. They need us. They are not super geniuses they are lucky.
You missed the other person’s point. It’s not a game and the consequences of ignoring the problem are likely to be massive.
Also, you know who will be the absolute last to feel pain from stuff like climate change? The wealthy. The overwhelming majority of people that will be affected aren’t privileged and in fact the least privileged are going to suffer the brunt of it.
You’re not going to punish the rich and powerful and make them regret their choices with this approach. By the time they’re even feeling moderate discomfort, you’ll be long gone.
Right so the rest of us should suffer when there is a low hanging fruit we can pick.
This isn’t about punishing people. You want CO2 to go down? Go for the easy wins before you go after the harder to achieve ones. A ban on private jets would hurt effectively none of the human race. There are over 8 billion of us. It wouldn’t even impact a percent of a percent. But yeah if given the option of taking someone in developing world’s motorcycle away or make Bezos have to fly first class I know which I am picking.
