You probably are in the 10% - anyone earning over $55,000
You feel entitled to an "occasional flight" so i assume your overall behavior leads to emissions typical for this group. You use 9 times you share.
A roundtrip flight from London to Dublin alone is already 25% of you yearly CO2 budget. From New York to Dublin its 80%.
But sure, the billionaires....
Remember this on your next flight, look down at the once green now brown wasteland and then at your children. It was you doing this.
Tell me more about how if we all live in tents, that will offset the pollution from the data centers being built. Maybe if I walk my kids to daycare on the days it rains (I already walk them in good weather), the government will invest in green energy. Defending billionaires? Son, you must be lost.
