Roman Abramovich alone emits as much CO2 as over 5,000 Chinese people. https://luxurylaunches.com/celebrities/roman-abramovich-carb...

In total, but is that still true when you adjust it for passenger miles traveled?

Anyone's actions, individually, contribute less than an iota of CO2 emissions. Does that give each of us license to do anything we want?

Yes, they could have trivially flown on a commercial passenger jet instead of a private one.

Even if they save 60 million tons of carbon, they're sure to do it by making people less well-off than themselves even poorer - while flaunting the fact that the wealthy don't need to make any lifestyle changes to 'save the planet', it's another burden that'll be passed on to 'the poors'.

This is why climate change is impossible to deal with - everything contributes 'just a tiny fraction' when broken down by industry and by country.

Private jets may be a miniscule percentage of the total, but they're one of the most glaringly wasteful, and they're also setting a very bad example for the rest of us. Why should hundreds of millions of working class people accept that they're going to have to lose their cars (and therefore their jobs), their meat, and their ability to heat/cool their small homes while our leaders still use private jets even when travelling to discuss climate change policy?

We need proposed solutions to climate change that don't look like a giant boot stomping on the face of the poor forever.

The vast majority will never be able to afford Teslas or other neat-but-very-expensive green tech.
