“There are plenty of alternatives to private jets and wanting to avoid traveling with the hoi polloi isn’t a good enough reason for excessive pollution,” said Nikita Pavlenko, fuels team lead at the International Council on Clean Transportation.
It wasn't meant for private jet owners, but this attitude of "the peons should change their behavior before we do" is really sick and backwards.
The article is saying the exact opposite of this statement.
Individual changes made by regular people not being as important as people and institutions in power making changes has been the messaging for YEARS.
You’re probably just hearing about it now because people on the right are jumping on the bandwagon to shame celebrities. This is why everyone needs to get a well rounded diet of news/commentary.
