The airline industry, you and me flying, 80% of it purely for leisure, will release something like 700 million metric tons of CO2 this year (and typically over 900 million metric tons per year pre-pandemic.)

The private jets flying to this conference will release maybe 10,000-20,000 metric tons of CO2.

That's 0.000016% of the annual CO2 from air travel.

Some of the most consequential travel for curbing climate change, literally a drop in the ocean compared to what you and I cause with our freaking vacation flights, and you all turn to insults and claims of hypocrisy.

What a joke this board is becoming. Hackers that can't or won't do simple arithmetic.

I think you are comparing emission for few people with entire population. Is that even a fair arithmetic?

If you are really gonna do the arithmetic please do 1 vs 1. So, 1 politician/elites private usage vs 1 average citizen carbon emission.
