"Private jets belonging to 200 celebrities, CEOs, oligarchs and billionaires
have spent a combined total of 11 years in the air since the start of 2022.

The carbon footprint of all those flights – a jaw-dropping 44,739 journeys –
would be the equivalent of the total emissions of almost 40,000 Britons.

The Guardian used public data to track flights by private aircraft owned or
used by celebrities and businesspeople including Elon Musk, the Rolling Stones,
the Murdoch family and Kylie Jenner over 21 months.

The figures track the almost 300 jets belonging to those on the list and find
that they emitted an estimated 415,518 tonnes of CO2."
