Fighting an airport expansion? Tonight at 7pm ET, learn how to use PJET, the free Private Jet Emissions Tracker, to pull flight and carbon data for any airport and any time window. Free webinar! Register here: actionnetwork.org/events/webin... @spje.bsky.social @ips-dc.org

The U.S. is home to just 4% of the world's population but nearly 69% of the world's registered private jets. Private jet operations and greenhouse gas emissions in two U.S. states alone, Florida and Texas, are greater than the 27 member countries of the European Union combined. Tax private jets.

There is always a private jet... "In September, the Rogers campaign paid $93,152 to JL Jets for at least five separate private charter flights, including the $40,000 transaction." theintercept.com/2026/10/19/m...

NYT: On her way out the door, Noem’s DHS paid one of her political donors for a massive private jet, complete with a stand-up bar, two bedrooms, marble showers and... A TABLE COVERED IN A MANTA RAY SKIN???!!! + 4 MORE PRIVATE JETS... that they are not even using. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u... 🎁

From tax breaks to runways, public taxpayer dollars support a private jet industry that benefits the few @taxprivatejets.org @inequality.org @ips-dc.org fortune.com/2026/10/01/b...

🧊✈️ These are all ICE flights 👀

Tell the Prince of Monaco: Cancel the Monaco Yacht Show. @taxprivatejets.org @staygroundednet.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/petitions/te... #Blues

This week, @taxprivatejets.org is tracking private jets landing in Nice for the Monaco Yacht Show and their CO2 emissions. US ambassador to Italy's personal Gulfstream landed yesterday 🤮

Last year, Europe's largest private jet fair got cancelled after pressure from activists - now it's Monaco Yacht Show's turn. Sign @taxprivatejets.org's petition to demand the Prince of Monaco cancel this deadly display of money, excess and injustice: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

@taxprivatejets.org are tracking private jet flights into Nice where many attendees will board helicopters for the 7-minute rise to Monaco. The tracking shows 1,737 private jet flights during the 2025 show - emitting the same level of CO2 as 281,972 French citizens across four days.

What's worse than a private jet? Taking a private jet to buy your next super-yacht, that's what. One of Europe's largest yacht shows is taking place in Monaco - a gross display of excess and emissions. Activists from @all-eco-sociale.bsky.social greeted this year's super emitters at the airport.

Cool new report from @taxprivatejets.org Billionaires are a weapon of mass destruction that threaten democracy and the environment. If we want a livable future we need to reassert democratic control over elite hyperconsumption: like private jets. #CallThemOligarchs #BanTheBillionaire #ClimateSky

We all pay the price of luxury travel for the wealthy @taxprivatejets.org @inequality.org @ips-dc.org san.com/cc/private-j...

JUST OUT: Our latest report finds private jets pollute 10–14x more than commercial flights—and the rest of us subsidize that luxury through taxes and public policy. Read more (The Guardian): www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #Climate #Inequality #PrivateJets

They’re trying to slip a tax break for private jet owners into the ALERT Act—an aviation safety bill. Safety fixes: yes. Billionaire giveaways: no. The Senate version doesn’t include it right now. Let’s keep it that way. Message your Senators: actionnetwork.org/letters/ineq...

"SPAIN is leading calls for the EU to tax private jets and the profits of fossil fuel companies to bankroll a Europe-wide climate resilience fund, including extra money to fight wildfires" Excellent idea, and importantly, avoids the Norway problem where widespread fossil $$ makes us ❤️🛢️

Do you agree with private jet owners getting a tax break? I don't! I just told Congress: don't sneak a tax break for private jet owners into a bipartisan aviation safety bill. Billionaires need to pay what they owe. @inequality.org @taxprivatejets.org actionnetwork.org/letters/ineq...

“Ohioans know they can’t trust a billionaire who looks down at us from 30,000 feet to understand the challenges we’re facing or to fight for us.” https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/08/21/ohio-governor-race-vivek-ramaswamy-spent-more-than-500000-leasing-private-jet-for-campaign-events/

77% agree: Tax breaks to private jet owners while middle class families pay full taxes is fundamentally unfair! www.caseforconsumers.org/wp-content/u...

@adamtooze.bsky.social @foreignpolicy.com have 1 number for us this week: $22 billion, the size of the global super-yacht industry. And how do billionaires get to their super yachts, do you suppose? Give a listen and follow us for more on the private jet-super yacht nexus. youtu.be/YX119Zg30Yo?...

The chart keeps rising: airline profits on one axis, human suffering on the other. @jensorensen.bsky.social illustrates the truth about modern-day air travel: for the executives flying private, everything is working exactly as intended. inthesetimes.com/article/airl...

@taxprivatejets.org, a new initiative that tracks the emissions produced by private jet travel, found that over 92,000 private jets flew in and out of host cities during the World Cup, pumping over 147 kilotons of excess carbon into our atmosphere. IPS's @chuck77.bsky.social on @thehill.com:

NEW from @chuckcollinswrites.bsky.social in @thehill.com: Red card for private jets at the World Cup 🟥✈️ 92,000+ private jet flights in and out of host cities. 147 kilotons of excess emissions. And FIFA still hasn't banned them. thehill.com/opinion/ener...

Carbon Hogs for the 1%......

"Soccer fans have happily gone to great expense this summer to see their teams play in stadiums across North America but we are all getting ripped off by private jet owners, suckling the public teat, pinkies up, spewing climate pollution." - Collins @ips-dc.org www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Desi Lydic at The Daily Show: I love that he's discovering climate change while standing next to his idling jet. Indeed.

The World Cup final drew Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Tom Cruise, the Beckhams — quite the star-studded crowd. Getting the richest of the rich there took ~3,000 private jet flights. Then, the tarmac emptied the second the whistle blew. Private jet pollution spiked to 𝟯× normal.

NEW: Over the World Cup final weekend, roughly 3,000 private jet flights moved in and out of the New York area. On final day, private-jet CO₂ in the region more than doubled its five-year norm. This is the most carbon-intensive way a person can travel — and one of the least taxed. Tax private jets.

FIFA pledged to cut the World Cup's emissions in half by 2030. Then it took Saudi Aramco — one of the largest oil companies on Earth — as an official partner. On final day, private jet pollution around New York doubled.

we built a tool to traffic private jet emissions during the world cup and other events. it's pretty bad 🤮
