@dosadoodle The EU exempt yachts and private jets from carbon taxes. It's a well known scandal.

And what are taxes going to do? The wealthy can afford it, they'll keep flying. Seriously, in what way is the mere taxing of carbon going to get us to net-zero?

You treat climate mitigation cost as trivial. That's why people reflexively downvote your videos. You, wealthy European woman who has benefitted from fossil fuels throughout her life, who is now handwringing about the lives of people in India who are only just now are about to tap these fossil fuels wants to cut them off again, keeping them in poverty and therefore at greater exposure to weather events. The cost of getting to net-zero as a serious attempt, not as some vague token gesture to make us feel good about ourselves, is immense and will send developing nations back into regression. That's what you're asking, that's what you're demanding. You may try to weaken it when pressed on the economics of it all, but that's just you playing a familiar motte and bailey.
