Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Amid growing concern about aviation\u2019s contribution to global warming, a new study has found that private jet emissions have surged by 46 per cent over the past five years.<\/b><\/p>\n

Researchers from Sweden\u2019s Linnaeus University, who tracked flights globally to calculate their carbon dioxide emissions, say many super-rich people are using these aircraft like taxis.<\/p>\n

Lead author and transportation researcher at the university\u2019s business school, Stefan Gossling, says a lot of the flights are non-essential and are lifestyle-related.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have shown in our paper that a large share is probably related to leisure purposes. All of that makes me think maybe we should be a little bit more realistic about the argument of importance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Almost half of the flights tracked by the team were for distances shorter than 500 kilometres and almost 70 per cent of the aircraft are registered in the United States.<\/p>\n

The research team says flying most private jets for just two hours can release more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere that the average person produces in a year.<\/p>\n

It also found that 1.8 per cent of aviation\u2019s carbon pollution comes from private jets, but aviation as a whole is responsible for about 4 per cent of human-caused heat-trapping gases.<\/p>\n

Gossling says this may seem like a small percentage, but for him, it is a matter of fairness.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you have this small group that is imposing a high carbon cost. And we also know that the damage in terms of lost ecosystems, in terms of lost ecosystem functions will be falling specifically on the poor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is a transfer that I would like people to make, that they see the damage is done by those with a lot of money and the cost is borne by those with very little money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Researchers say there has been little accountability for people using private jets who would likely argue that they are just a small group who are \u201cnot relevant in terms of emissions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut everybody else will look at this small group and say, \u2018Look these are the super emitters, if they are not relevant, how can we be relevant?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The study, published in Nature\u2019s journal, Communications Earth & Environment, suggests levying a tax or landing fee, based on the damage caused by each tonne of emissions.<\/p>\n
