This completely overlooks the psychological aspect, which is that the 1% is perfectly happy to fly to Davos every year in their hundreds of private jets, where they all sit together in a large room and tell us to stop flying, damnit, because it is killing the planet!
Sure, their one flight doesn't change anything. _Neither does mine_, when I fly a few times per year to get to another part of the world. Yet somehow my flight is considered "part of a large group and therefore dangerous", and theirs is not?
If the 1% wants to have moral authority, they should lead from the front: they should stop flying altogether, and limit themselves to low-carbon activities they can reach by train. Either we are all in this together, or it is nothing more than yet another pathetic power grab by people that already have too much of it anyway.
