    Private jets used by the ultra-rich and boiling us alive. We are the frog in the pan and climate change deniers can’t tell that the temperatures are rising, even though scientists are screaming at them.

        It’s low-hanging fruit.

        We can cut nearly a percent from asking 1:1,000 people not to use their private jets.

        In 4 hours a private jet introduces as much CO2 as the average person does from all sources in a year.

        By banning private air travel we can reduce carbon emissions dramatically with virtually no social cost.
