Private Jet Emissions Surge 46% to 15.6 Megatonnes in 2023 as Billionaires Contribute Significantly
Nov 7, 2024, 05:54 PM
A recent study has revealed that carbon emissions from private jets increased by 46% between 2019 and 2023, reaching 15.6 megatonnes of CO2 in 2023, equivalent to the annual emissions of Tanzania. The study highlights that billionaire owners, including Taylor Swift, contribute significantly to these emissions, producing almost 500 times more CO2 in a year than the average person. The analysis also shows significant emission peaks around international events, such as the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This surge in emissions has prompted climate scientists to warn about the ultra-rich using jets like taxis.
