The study's authors observed that "emissions increased by 46% between 2019-2023," indicating private air travel's growing impact on climate change.
A staggering 47.4% of private flights were for distances less than 310 miles, showcasing inefficiencies that contribute significantly to carbon emissions.
The authors noted that "emission reductions are particularly difficult to achieve under scenarios of continued growth in economic output or wealth;" which complicates climate policy.
As noted by Noah Haggerty, the shift towards privacy in private air travel raises concerns about diminished data availability for climate research.
