- 1% of world population emits 50% of CO2 from commercial aviation
- Private air travel can amount to 7,500 t CO2/y
- Super emitters may contribute to global warming at a rate 225,000x (!) higher than the global poor

Reminds me of this study looking into the air travel emissions of celebrities... The virtue signalling of Oprah suddenly looked a bit silly. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 
On a similar note: the introduction of the Impossible burger on Air New Zealand business class flights between Auckland and Los Angeles. cnbc.com/2018/08/09/air…
Meanwhile (h/t @JulieB48588409)
Compare: decreasing meat intake 200->80 g/p/d would reduce emissions with only 0.2 t CO2-eq after a year. Going vegetarian/vegan with 0.5 & 0.8 (not even mentioning context of nutrients, GWP*, C-seq, rebound effects, etc)
