When people try to pin carbon emissions on an individual's travel it sounds willfully obtuse if not completely disingenuous. The trajectory of climate change will not be altered by a few thousand billionaires taking fewer flights. You know this, I know this, we all know this.

That's not how solidarity works though.
Solidarity won't stop climate change. Putting people in positions of political power who prioritize transforming our economy will stop climate change.
It won't but it will help to create more support with the rest of the people. Do as I say but not as I do doesn't work with adults any more than it works with little children.
