      The point is that we don’t need to ban airplanes, just the people who are using private jets to fly every other day (that’s below average for a billionaire).

        Sure. Here’s some data:

        https://ourworldindata.org/global-aviation-emissions

        We are at >1 billion tons of CO2 from airplanes.

        And according to:

        https://www.iflscience.com/private-jet-carbon-emissions-surge-by-46-percent-in-just-four-years-76695

        We are at 15.6 million tons of CO2 from private jets.

        How do you plan to get rid of the remaining 98.5% of emissions after banning private jets?

          Billionaires also disproportionately invest in fossil fuels and their carbon footprint is the size of a small country. Once you include the mega yachts, their many compounds and all the other excesses encouraged by malignant wealth. It might not fully solve the problem, but the rest would be made easier without them owning the politicians, courts, and media.
