It sucks when people are like "but flying is only 3% of global emissions" or "bitcoin is only 0.5%." It all adds up when you're in a climate emergency.
Out of ALL the nations of the world, 203 (all but 6) emit under 2% of global emissions.

If global aviation were a nation it would be the #6 top emitter after China, the US, India, Russia, and Japan.

1. The richest 1% of humans contribute 50% of all flying emissions! It is an incredibly privileged act.
2. It indicates whether or not humanity has switched into climate emergency mode.

Another way to look at this: if bitcoin were a country, it emits more CO2 than 179 (86%) of the world's nations (assuming it is in fact responsible for "only" 0.5% of emissions as someone in the responses claimed)
