Private jets, yachts, caviar: How do the super-rich influence the climate?
2023 • E25 Jul 11, 2023 30m
Luxury private jets, mega-yachts, fat sports cars: the super-rich in Germany are causing climate damage that is many times greater than that of the rest of the population. This is shown by data from the World Inequality Database. If you are rich, you can consume more and with increased consumption, CO2 emissions also increase. We talk to young people whose lifestyle is anything but climate-conscious and who are open about it. 18-year-old Theo Stratmann is of the opinion that if you do more, you can also use more CO2. Climate change can no longer be stopped anyway. A mindset that many people seem to share, as there are more private jets flying in Germany today than ever before. In addition, many wealthy people also have an influence on CO2 consumption because they invest in companies, hold shares or sit on boards. Volkswagen provides an impressive example.
