FLIGHT SHAMING

Private jets account for less than 0.1% of total annual carbon emissions globally, but can release, typically, up to 20 times more carbon emissions per guest mile than jetliners, according to the London-based personal charter company Victor.

Prince Harry has [defended](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) his periodic usage of personal jets to guarantee his household's security, and has actually said that on the rare celebrations he does not fly commercially he offsets his emissions.
