Private Jet Travel Is Greener Than You Think Or Something
As Yechezkel Moskowitz notes, “This is totally bonkers – the leftist propogandists will rationalize anything to defend their own.” The Cult of Climastrology will do everything they can, because this is about politics, not science. Here’s Excitable Doug Gollan
Private Jet Travel Is Greener Than You Think
Much like before and after the World Economic Forum, it was hard to avoid blaring headlines in recent weeks calling out the alleged hypocrisy of billionaires, CEOs, celebrities and environmentalists. As you may recall, they descended on Sicily in their private jets for the seventh annual “summer camp” hosted by Google, this year with a focus on sustainability. Then as I was writing this, OMG, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted using a private jet. That was several days ago and the controversy is still going strong.
Private jets are of course a popular lightning rod, easily and often used as a metaphor for excess, waste, greed, mismanagement and even criminality, which is not to say there aren’t folks flying on them who haven’t done something for which they should deservedly be taken to the woodshed. When somebody who is concerned about our planet’s future is found to be flying privately, it’s often a take no prisoners approach. Just ask the young Royals (see below). (snip)
But back the point about what I want to discuss: When it comes to the conversation about global warming, private jets are an important part of the solution.
In terms of limiting planetary damage, in some cases, more private jet travelers in place of mass tourism might even be beneficial, not only to the local economies that rely on visitors, but for the environment.
Back in 2007, I co-authored a book titled, “The Sky’s the Limit: Marketing Luxury to the New Jet Set.” At the time I was president and editor-in-chief of a magazine distributed on private jets, so we needed data that would be helpful in selling ads, although understanding the reasons rich people buy stuff ended up being a fascinating exercise, something that’s still widely misunderstood.
What he’s determined is that all these Rich Warmists bring a lot of money to the places they visit, on average $85,000 per visit, which is an Excuse for being a climahypocrite. So
Irresponsibly trying to deter air travel via flight shaming is a threat to the global economy. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the industry is responsible for 10% of all jobs around the world and some $8.8 trillion in contributions to local economies far and wide. In places that rely heavily on visitors, as much as half of all jobs are tied to tourism.
Flight shaming. Good grief.
With a spend of $85,000, it would mean those often ridiculed private fliers would have brought 250% more revenue to the local economy while emitting less than one-tenth the CO2 of a full passenger jet.
Yes, but the private jet tends to be carrying just a few people, while a full passenger jet can carry 150 or more easily. And this avoids the central proposition that these uber-Warmists are taking fossil fueled flights in the first place. He continues attempting to defend this climahypocrisy, ending with
Villanizing private aviation and those who use it does nothing to solve the global warming, and in fact, ignores the benefits users bring to the places they visit, and the impact on those who benefit economically.
No one is saying that they do not bring economic benefit. They’re noting the hypocrisy. And it is hypocrisy. Period.
Woods Hole station shows just .94 feet of sea rise over 100 years, which is barely above average for Holocene. Should be about a foot and a half or more for a warm period #climatebrawl

That’s right, Barack and Michelle just bought a home on an island, Martha’s Vineyard. Guess the existential crisis isn’t.
