To be honest the planet does not care how you compute it.
Quick google-fu said private jets are about 1,8% of the total airtravel pollution. If you want whats good for the earth, focus on the half empty and empty commercial flights that big airlines do because they want to keep their hangar places. That makes much bigger part of the overall pollution.
I say: let the rich fly, just make it so they pay enough taxes for it compencate for it.
It is intresting to see if we go that way, or if our future will be more Orwellian in its nature. Might go ine way or another.
I somewhat agree, but on the other hand its not the right place to do it.
If somebody would come and play bagpipes, or start yodel in a courtroom or parlament they would be asked to stop too. And i bet if in those cases they would not stop, they would get reprimands too. No matter how cultural it is.
Hah. I would not compare yearly money graps to GTA. Every 3d GTA has been setting the new standard for the genre.
Mostly agree with you, but two things.
Movement techniques should always be optional and not necessity to do. Somebody wants to zip around and somebody wants to stay still and fire away. Some mechanics solve problems, but some just are there to give freedom.
Guns. They have spend three main games and four spinoffs building the companies. At this point the manufactorers are basically characters. Why chance it?
Im confused? I have heard mostly positive things about the game.
Got it. To beat my friends at chess i just need to learn to play chess.
Werent it more a flex how rich you were?
“See that lord over there. He is so rich he does not even need to use all off his land for agriculture.”
I think it depends where they fight.
If polar bear would fight in the jungle it would get hot and go to drink water. At that time it would be completelly open for suplex from the gorilla.
And if they were to fight on the ice sheet the gorilla would not have any trees where to hang tire swing and he would get depressed and unintrested to fight. So in the end it boils down to what kind of social services and safety nets are in the arctic and can they help primates like 1989 released Belgian techno anthem Pump up the jam can help humans.
Why Gates in the picture tough?
He stepped down as a chairman over 10 years ago and didint he leave the microsoft board like 5 years ago?
Always love to see Zomboid.
Do you play modded or vanilla?
Land mines are a horror of war that bite long after the conflict ends.
I have had always problem with this thinking and im pro mines. Yes it will be sad if children die 10 years from now to old landmine, but its also sad if that child is never born because their parents died fighting in a war.
Yeah and no. Google has been fined for 8b in europe. They make about 100b in a year in eu market.
So they have lost about one months profits in few years.
Its not going to criple them, but its not nothing. And the purpose is not to criple their operation, but hurt it enough so its wiser to make changes rather than keep bleeding money.
Im not particulaly pro USA at the moment, but sayng New York city and New Orleans dont have culture or style is just stupid. Both cities have pretty intresting history, own architectural style, cultural significance and own culinary styles.
New Prague is just random town amd only one on that should be on this list.
And Orlová is not named after San Diego.
So without shadows of a doubt New Praque is not as good as Praque.
Wonder how much turism effects those numbers.
Woah. Calm down satan.
I agree with you, but i just wanted to say that.
This is especially dum because New York and New Orleans are both cities with intresting culture and nuanced history.
I havent ever heard about New Prague so cant say anything.
There are like 20 cities in states that start with “New” and op chose very poorly.
Just to walk you trough my reasoning.
Change needs money. That 1,8% can generates lots of money that can be used to fight pollution in other ways. We could easily rise the taxation and that 1,8% could turn in to 1,5% or something.
If we start to ban private jets conpletelly by changings laws, it will be long process and even if one country bans it there will always be poor countries or tax heavens that will find a way to enable it. It will turn in to a game of aviation wack-a-mole and the gran price of that work will be 1,8% reduce in emission.
On the other hand we could make bigger impact from commercial side while not losing tax revenue as much. Its hard to get real numbers but its likely ghost flights alone are close to same pollution as private jets, not to mention that average commercial flights has only 80% of the seats filled.
So my thinking in short is that any impact with banning private jets is dwarfed by anything done in the commercial side.
And im not saying private jets are good. Im against those. People just need to understand that they are very minor part of the aviation pollution.
