Activists from @Greenpeace @StayGroundedNet @ExtinctionR & @ScientistRebel1 demand #BanPrivateJets as is not tolerable that the super-rich keep having events such as #EBACE2023 to buy their private jets for their own benefit, while we know that this fuels climate breakdown
What exactly is the #EBACE2023? It’s Europe’s largest annual gathering of business aviation industry stakeholders such as private jets

US: Seattle, WA. @SRTurtleIsland, @XRSeattle and @guardianrebel1 have shut down the entrance of the Signature Jets private jet terminal at Boeing Field for 4 hours. The wealthiest need to be held accountable. #MakePollutersPay for #LossAndDamage. 📷 credits: Mike Quinlan. (1/4)
Matthew Wheeler, biohealth scientist previously wildland firefighter and member of @SRTurtleIsland ⬇️ "The wealthy chose ecocide. This is their fault. They need to be held accountable, we need to #BanPrivateJets immediately." #MakeThemPay (2/4)
Will Livernois, a bioelectronics researcher and member of @SRTurtleIsland: "Taking a private jet while the planet is on fire is utter insanity. The science has been clear for half a century and we have not changed trajectory." #ClimateEmergency (3/4)
Spain: Ibiza. 10 activists from @EsRebelCientif and @XRIbiza including 2 scientists conducted a performance in front of the private aircraft terminal of the Ibiza airport to protest against the economic, social and ecological injustice produced by private aviation ⬇️ (1/3)
"The island has become an amusement park for millionaires who come to party on their private planes and mega yachts", explain the activists, "from Ibiza, a private jet once took off only to transport a cactus, with no people as passengers." #MakeThemPay #BanPrivateJets (2/3)
They add "The behavior of these rich people is a luxury that we cannot afford". We must #BanPrivateJets. Read more about the campaign at ➡️ makethempay.info ✊ (3/3)
Today I was arrested for the second time trying to increase public urgency about Earth breakdown along with about 80 other scientists and many others. I was released and I’m fine, but tired. We worked very hard for weeks.
We’re on the right side of history, but it feels like we’re losing badly. We need reinforcements. Civil disobedients and others.
Meanwhile it doesn’t take a scientist to know that every summer will be hotter than the last and lots of things will break as a result. Planet-scaled things. The disregard in our society for this fundamental fact is still stunning to me.
Today, people in several countries are protesting at private jet facilities. Why are they doing this?
5⃣ reasons why we need to #BanPrivateJets. 🧵🔽
5⃣ reasons why we need to #BanPrivateJets. 🧵🔽
1⃣ Private jets are the most polluting option. They emit huge amounts of climate-damaging emissions compared to already highly polluting commercial flights - and especially to low-emissions alternatives like trains.

2⃣ One flight on a private jet causes much more pollution than most people in the world produce in a whole year for meeting all their needs like housing, daily mobility and food.

Today, scientists and citizens are taking action at airports around the world. The economical, climate and social injustice generated by the aviation industry must stop. Here at Berlin's airport, blocking the private jet gate ⬇️ #ClimateEmergency (1/n)
@SciReb_Germany @DebtforClimate @xr_germany @LossandDamage @LDCChairUNFCCC @StayGroundedNet They demand that governments #BanPrivateJets and #TaxFrequentFlyers. A single 4-hour flight in a private jet emits more than the average European in a year. The Global North must listen to the countries being hit the most by climate chaos at #COP27 and #MakePollutersPay. (2/n)
@SciReb_Germany @DebtforClimate @xr_germany @LossandDamage @LDCChairUNFCCC @StayGroundedNet @ExtinctionR UK: Farnborough airport main gate blocked! This airport describes itself as "a full-service private airport". Not today! Scientists and youth climate campaigners have barricaded the gates. (3/n)
E' successo di nuovo un fatto grave. Proprio come sabato scorso, anche domenica un jet sembra aver inseguito @matteorenzi in ben cinque regioni italiane.

In un singolo giorno, il jet Dassault Falcon targato I-KERE ha fatto tappa a Lamezia Terme, Bari, Cagliari, Palermo, per poi rientrare dolcemente a Firenze. Inspiegabilmente, Renzi si trovava nelle stesse città in orari simili per fare la sua campagna elettorale.

Qualche esempio.
Domenica mattina, Lamezia Terme. Discorso su giovani, lavoro, reddito di cittadinanza.

Fai attenzione @matteorenzi ! Sembra proprio che un jet privato ti stia seguendo dappertutto !
Sabato 17 settembre Matteo Renzi ha viaggiato ai quattro angoli del paese. Contemporaneamente, un jet operava le stesse tratte

Venerdi sera. Matteo Renzi è a Firenze e ci fa sapere che viaggia in autostrada.
Sabato primo pomeriggio. Il leader di @ItaliaViva è ad Alba per un incontro elettorale. Poco prima – alle 13.14 -, un Dassault Falcon decollato da Firenze atterra a Cuneo.

Hey @matteorenzi ! Piccolo consiglio di stile. Durante un’emergenza climatica fare campagna elettorale in jet privato è un po’ démodé.

Per andare a prenderlo, il jet ha volato vuoto da Roma a Napoli. In Europa, circa il 40% dei voli in jet privato sono realizzati vuoti, si tratta in tutto e per tutto di taxi che vanno a prendere i clienti.
