Dozens flew just a few hundred miles.
One flew just 13 miles.
All these leftists pompous morons need to STFU and have their yachts and private planes taken away from them.
The best part was when Lurch Kerry told the Elites they were "Extraterrestrials" here to save the Earth.
Someone please try to explain to the class how this isn't a Cult with no basis in science.
"Davos has a perfectly adequate railway station, still these people can’t even be bothered to take the train for a trip as short as 21 [kilometers]," she continued. "Do we really believe that these are the people to solve the problems the world faces?"
he study determined that 1,040 flights on private jets were recorded arriving and departing seven airstrips close to Davos during the week of the 2022 WEF conference. The private jet air traffic in the region represented an uptick of about 500 private flights relative to weeks before and after the conference. Therefore, Greenpeace estimated that those 500 flights, or 48% of all private jets in the area that week, were transporting conference participants.
A sizable number of the jets recorded short-distance flights with dozens flying less than 100 kilometers, the equivalent of 62 miles, to Davos. Greenpeace argued the majority of the flights could have been replaced with train rides.
In addition, private jets flying into the Davos area during the week of the 2022 forum emitted a whopping 9,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide. The study attributed 7,400 metric tons to planes servicing the conference. By comparison, the average person worldwide has an estimated annual carbon footprint of four tons.
"Given that 80% of the world’s population has never even flown, but suffers from the consequences of climate-damaging aviation emissions, and that the WEF claims to be committed to the 1.5°C Paris Climate Target, this annual private jet bonanza is a distasteful masterclass in hypocrisy," Greenpeace's Schenk added.
