Just 1% of people are responsible for half of all toxic emissions from flying.

I can’t decide which is more depressing, you fighting for people to have the right to keep polluting by flying around their own jets, or the fact that you’ll never even benefit from your campaign to defend the rich assholes fucking up our environment for their own convinience.

either way you’re a sad, dumb sack of trash.

I can’t help it if you’re wrong. I’m not defending rich people, I’m just stating a fact. Planes are more fuel efficient than cars and there are more cars with less fuel efficiency. If you want to help the problem, planes are farther down the list of impacts than cars.

http://websites.umich.edu/~umtriswt/PDF/UMTRI-2014-2_Abstract_English.pdf

“A new report from the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute shows that flying has become 74% more efficient per passenger since 1970 while driving gained only 17% efficiency per passenger. In fact, the average plane trip has been more fuel efficient than the average car trip since as far back as 2000, according to their calculations.”

The report is called “Making Driving less Energy Intensive than Flying”.

What’s depressing is that you’re so confidently incorrect yet continue to argue.
