Frequent flying “super emitters”, who make up just 1% of the world's population, caused half of aviation's carbon emissions in , according to a study. According to The Guardian and researchers' estimates, airlines had produced a billion of and benefited from a $100bn subsidy by not paying for the climate damage they caused. The study brings together the data to give the clearest overall picture of the impact of frequent travelers. Only 11% of the world's population took a flight in and 4% flew abroad. air travelers have by far the largest carbon footprint among wealthy countries. Its aviation emissions are higher than those of the next 10 countries combined, including the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and Australia, the study reports. The researchers said the study showed that an elite group that enjoyed frequent flights had a large impact on the climate crisis affecting the entire world. Situation during the -19 pandemic They also stated that the 50% decline in passenger numbers in 2020 during the pandemic should be an opportunity to make the aviation industry fairer and more sustainable.
This could be done by putting green conditions on the huge bailouts that governments were giving to the industry, as had happened in France. Global aviation's contribution to Phone Number List the climate crisis was growing rapidly before the -19 pandemic, with emissions increasing by between and 18 years. The number of flights in 2020 has halved, but the industry hopes to return to previous levels in . If climate change is to be solved and we need to redesign aviation, then we should start at the top, where a few 'super-emitters' contribute massively to global warming. The rich have had too much freedom to design the planet according to their wishes. We should see the crisis as an opportunity to slim down the air transport system. Stefan of Linnaeus University in Sweden, who led the new study. Question of equality For his part, Dan Rutherford, of the International Council on Clean Transportation and not part of the research team, said the analysis raised the question of equality. The benefits of aviation are spread more unequally around the world than probably any other major source of emissions.
There is therefore a clear risk that the special treatment airlines enjoy only protects the economic interests of the global rich. The frequent travelers identified in the study traveled about miles a year, said, which is equivalent to three long-haul flights a year, one short-haul flight a month, or some combination of both. The research, published in the journal Global Environmental Change , collated a range of data and found that large proportions of people in all countries did not fly at all each year; 53% in the US, 65% in Germany and in Taiwan. In the UK, separate data shows that 48% of people did not fly abroad in . Emissions production The analysis showed that the US produced the most emissions among wealthy nations. China was the largest among other countries, but has no data available. However, believes his footprint in aviation is probably only one-fifth of that of the US. On average, North Americans flew 50 times more kilometers than Africans in 2018, 10 times more than those in the Asia-Pacific region and times more than Latin Americans. Europeans and Middle Easterners flew 25 times farther than Africans and five times farther than Asians.
