In order to meet climate change goals, the 1% would need to cut their emissions by 97% by 2030. “Governments need to stop pandering to the richest polluters and instead make them pay their fair share for the havoc they’re wreaking on our planet,” Oxfam’s Chiara Liguori said. In 2024, Eric Shmidt, Elon Musk, and Kim Kardashian racked up the most miles on their private jets. (dailymail.co.uk)
