    If you ban any single activity you’re not going to stop polluting the planet… Because there’s no single contributor, so your options are to do nothing or stop everything all together? None of them are feasible.

    I don’t even think you have to ban private jets, just tax them very heavily (because they are plain luxury).

      You misunderstood, this is an argument used by people to rationalize not changing their own behavior. If we would ban private jets they would rationalize with other “reasons”.

        I don’t know the first person that thinks banning jets is a silver bullet to solve climate change, or excuse their own behaviour by blaming people flying on jets.

        You are getting angry about people that don’t exist, or are not even a significant portion.
