Article is in italian I couldn’t find any news about this in english but i believe it’s really important to share.
"Sono attesi dagli 80 ai 90 aerei all’aeroporto Marco Polo di Venezia. Jet privati da Los Angeles, New York, Londra e Dubai scaricheranno in laguna un carico scintillante di star, imprenditori, supermodelle, influencer e tycoon. Il traffico aereo privato sarà talmente intenso da richiedere un coordinamento speciale tra l’aeroporto di Venezia e gli scali di riserva a Verona e Treviso. "
Translation:
"80 to 90 planes are expected at Venice’s Marco Polo airport. Private jets from Los Angeles, New York, London and Dubai will unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels, influencers and tycoons into the lagoon. Private air traffic will be so intense that it will require special coordination between Venice airport and the reserve stopovers in Verona and Treviso. "
The planet does not care about taxes either.
The reason per person footprint is important because we can’t just turn off all pollution. We have to gradually reduce it.
You can’t just say to your country “by the way, we just banned fossil fuels”, that will just result in you dead and a pro-pollution guy being in charge of the country next day.
The way to reduce pollution is to get more output from the same input. That is, efficiency.
Private jets are incredibly inefficient and are used by an extremely low percentage of the population. There’s no reason to keep that 1.8% just to satisfy 0.0001% of the population.
