  2. This is a massive victory for the planet and climate activism!

    We need to cherish these wins and keep the momentum going until luxury emissions are banned for good and the super-rich causing them are taxed fairly.

  4. New Effort on the Runway to Raise #Climate Funds
    A small group of countries is aiming to impose a fee on #privatejets and premium commercial fares.
    “Those who #pollute more should contribute more, and a levy on premium fliers can generate billions for climate resilience, adaptation and sustainable development,” said Maria del Mar Fernández-Palacios at the #COP30 climate talks to draw other countries to join the Premium Flyers Solidarity Coalition

  5. Wait a second! This dude actually has a girl friend? Does she know? :-) That is the real story here!

    The head of the FBI’s critical incident response group (a 27 year veteran) was told he could resign instantly or be fired after flight schedules and tail tracking information for one of the FBI's private jets was public. The flight info detailed FBI Director Kash Patel's use of the private jet to go on a date night with his girlfriend. Jet tracking data is fully in the public domain.

  6. '#InsatiableGreed': Richest 1% Have Already Burned Through Their #CarbonLimit for 2025

    "The #SuperRich continue to squander humanity's chances with their lavish lifestyles, polluting stock portfolios and pernicious political influence. This is theft—pure and simple."

    Jake Johnson, Jan 10, 2025

    "An #Oxfam analysis published Friday shows that the richest 1% of the global population has already blown through its global carbon budget for 2025—just 10 days into the New Year. The figures, which arrive amid catastrophic fires in Los Angeles that may turn out to be the costliest in U.S. history, highlight the disproportionate role of the #UltraWealthy in fueling a #ClimateEmergency that is causing devastation around the world.

    "Oxfam calculates that in order to keep critical climate goals in reach, each person on Earth must have a CO2 footprint of roughly 2.1 tons per year or less. On average, each person in the global 1% is burning through 76 tons of planet-warning carbon dioxide annually—or 0.209 per day—meaning it took them just over a week to reach their CO2 limit for the year.

    "By contrast, the average person in the poorest 50% of humanity has an annual carbon footprint of 0.7 tons per year—well within the 2.1-ton budget compatible with a livable future.

    "'The future of our planet is hanging by a thread,' Nafkote Dabi, Oxfam International's climate change policy lead, said in a statement Friday. 'The margin for action is razor-thin, yet the super-rich continue to squander humanity's chances with their lavish lifestyles, polluting stock portfolios and pernicious political influence.'

    "'This is theft—pure and simple―a tiny few robbing billions of people of their future to feed their insatiable greed,' Dabi added.

    "'Rich polluters must be made to pay for the havoc they're wreaking on our planet.'

    "Oxfam's new analysis came as the @CopernicusEU Climate Change Service confirmed that 2024 was the hottest year on record and 'the first calendar year that the average global temperature exceeded 1.5°C above its #PreIndustrial level.'

    "'All of the internationally produced global temperature datasets show that 2024 was the hottest year since records began in 1850,' Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo said in a statement. 'Humanity is in charge of its own destiny, but how we respond to the climate challenge should be based on evidence. The future is in our hands—swift and decisive action can still alter the trajectory of our future climate.'

    "Oxfam called on governments to move urgently to curb the emissions of the rich, including by implementing #WealthTaxes, banning #PrivateJets and #Superyachts, and imposing strict new regulations on #polluting companies.

    "'Governments need to stop pandering to the richest,' Dabi said Friday. 'Rich polluters must be made to pay for the havoc they're wreaking on our planet. Tax them, curb their emissions, and ban their excessive indulgences—private jets, superyachts, and the like. Leaders who fail to act are effectively choosing complicity in a crisis that threatens the lives of billions.'"

  7. Why Not Tax Private Jets Out of Existence? - The industry not only exploits our planet’s precious resources but makes the rest of us subsidize the extravagant lifestyles of the ultra-rich.

  9. This article frames ultra-rich people owning and using superyachts and private jets as ‘theft’ because it reduces the amount of time we’ve got to avert climate disaster.
    Yes, it is.
    But it’s also theft because the purchase of these yachts and jets are only possible because of the enormous sums of money stolen from workers to […]

    #Govts and #bigBusiness are using the #opportunity (#crisis) for various things, good and bad, including, no particular order:
    - test #reduceTravel (especially #airTravel), not necessarily for the #powerElite who can use #privateJets and #helicopters.
    - test #UBI,
    - buy up #assets at #lowerPrices,
    - boost #militaryBudget, increase #militarisation of #policeForce (especially in #Australia),
