Among other things, one of the issues is they use their private jets in much the same way we might casually use a car.

Now its true we should all be using our cars less, so most of us are a bit guilty.

Yet the scale of emissions is drastically different. eg. In the single month of January this year, Bezos' private jets consumed enough fuel to fly roughly 500 people from Washington DC to London. Thats in ONE month of he & his partner using his private jets like we might use a car. ^1^
