Nah, private jets are pretty bad

Edit: aviation is responsible for 2% of greenhouse gas emmission. Doesn't sound much? Consider that only 10 to 20 percent of the world population ever took a flight. So tje number of planes is quite limited and STILL they cause 1/50 of all emmission which is too much.

The fact that only 10 to 20 percent of the population has taken a flight yet it still makes up 2% of greenhouse gas emissions is more because people who can afford to fly will fly many times, not only because if private jets. The issue is that private jets put out much more greenhouse gas emissions per person than an airliner because it’s only carrying a few people opposed to hundreds carried on an airliner. Ultimately private jets are pretty bad but don’t entirely make up the disparity between the flying population and the greenhouse gas emissions.
