Am I reading the graphs right if I see the main problem being private yachts and flying? Ofc cars are also included in the transport emissions, but unless they make up the majority of the emissions, the effect of cutting out some of the flights would reduce emissions by a lot.
Seems like a reasonably easy problem to fix, if one was to implement some type of "carbon tax" that targeted at private boats and planes.
Did not rtfa, but I would guess private jets.almost exclusively. Air travel even in a traditional passenger jet is incredibly carbon intense, even splitting the emissions by 300 or so.
So a) they travel by air far more than avergae, and b) they're doing so in private aircraft.
But we could also rtfa.
edit: saw the original ?toot?. there is no fa. but there was another figure that confirmed, it's yachts. not even planes. mfing yachts. How much yachting can you possibly be doing as an individual to make that size of a carbon footprint?
Aviation is only about 2% of the whole CO2 emissions worldwide.
Over 60% of emissions come from things like transport of goods and people using cars, heating/cooling of homes, industry (iron/steel, chemical/petrochemical, ...) and so on.
70% of annual emissions come from outside of USA and Europe. Cumulatively USA and EU still dominate.
