Ban private jets and luxury emissions! [Petition]
The super rich are wrecking our planet - time to make them pay! Can you SIGN NOW to stop luxury emissions?
Just 1% of people are responsible for half of all toxic emissions from flying.
You're viewing a single thread.
You could also just tax those things at rates the super-rich will actually feel in their bank accounts.
Or just a rate sufficient to remove and sequester 2x the amount.
Or require them to use 100% sustainable fuel to accelerate the development of such fuels.
Carbon sequestration is not possible right now or even for the foreseeable future.
Forcing jets to use renewable resources is a good one be should aim to ban private short and medium haul flights in general.
Are trees not sufficient for carbon sequestration?
In order to actually sequester carbon from trees you then need to cut them down and use or burry the lumber in a place where it will rest for the rest of time. Besides we would need vastly more space, water, and firefighting to even approach real offsets. Trees are nice for shade and some ecosystems but they don’t really have anything to do with climate change beyond burning up faster.
Progressive tax based on income, jet type and frequency.
