Yes, the rich consume more resources and emit more carbon, what else is new? As a fraction of total worldwide emissions, private jets are irrelevant.
The environmental movement wants everyone to be poor. Live in a small house, don't use much heat in the winter, don't use A/C in the summer. Don't travel far. Walk to the grocery store and carry stuff yourself. Don't own a car - not even an electric car - take public transportation. Don't go far on vacation, don't ski, don't visit your friends or family all that often if they live far away.
Really, the environmental movement would actually be most happy with you if you killed yourself and stopped consuming resources altogether! But they only say that in private.
- tcfhgj 4y agoWell, we are actually going to kill a lot of people going down the current road, because we can't be bothered reflecting our life style.

- InitialLastName 4y agoThe environmental movement wants people to pay the actual costs they incur on the world. If that means lifestyle sacrifices, so be it.

- chrisfosterelli 4y agoI don't think that's a fair characterization of the entire environmental movement, just a subset of it. I'd consider myself very pro-environment. I think we should be using more energy; there's lots of it out there, and using more seems to pretty strongly correlate to increased quality of life. I just think we are using the wrong energy sources.
- kashunstva 4y ago> Really, the environmental movement would actually be most happy with you if you killed yourself...But they only say that in private. I've been around environmental culture, sustainable agriculture and sustainable living practice communities for decades and I've never heard this sentiment, in public or in private; so I think you have constructed a strawman argument.
