Our new data tool can tell you the jump in carbon pollution from these 250 luxury jets... wanna see the number @pwsyme.bsky.social? africa.businessinsider.com/sports/mappe...

Yikes! Why are we paying the penalty for the ultra wealthy jetting around? Massive tax incentives allow private jetters to fly and dump emissions impact *and* cost on the rest of us. Enough is enough, tax private jets! taxprivatejets.org#petition

Millionaires jetting between World Cup games has only made this problem worse.

The NYT story on the World Cup isn’t really about soccer. It’s about the private-jet class: people wealthy enough to opt out of the systems and rules the rest of us are stuck navigating.

The World Cup isn’t just goals and glory—it’s also a case study in inequality. Ridiculous ticket prices. Corporate sponsors everywhere. And FIFA leadership flying private while fans & players face extreme heat.

Behind the World Cup's glitz: climate crisis, sky-high ticket prices, and billionaires flying private while everyone else suffers the heat. Join our very own Chuck Collins THUR 7/9 2pm ET // 11am PT // 8pm CEST for a free global webinar on the World Cup's inequality problem.

New report scrutinizes Taylor Swift’s private jet emissions: since early March, the jet reportedly flew 𝟴𝟭 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀, spent 𝟭𝟲𝟵 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 airborne, and generated ~𝟲𝟯𝟵 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝘀 of CO₂. Thread:

FIFA's Gianni Infantino is jetting to 2 World Cup games A DAY while fans and players roast in extreme heat. FIFA talks a big game on climate, but corruption and inaction rule the day. Tell FIFA: no private jets. 🟥⚽🛩️ @staygroundednet.bsky.social @inequality.org actionnetwork.org/petitions/fi...

The average American takes just over 1 plane flight a year.

This is clever & depressing: the Apocalypse Early Warning System tracks private jet activity. “In the event of an imminent nuclear apocalypse, we suspect that many people who have access to private jets will immediately take to the skies…” [ews.kylemcdonald.net]
