You could spend an entire year commuting, heating your home, cooking meals, and going about your daily life — and still produce less carbon dioxide than a private jet releases on a single flight.

That’s the striking conclusion of a new Oxfam report, which estimates that the average private jet flight emitted 3.7 metric tons of CO₂ in 2025, roughly as much as the average person worldwide produces in an entire year.

The same report also shows that the world’s richest 0.1% produce more greenhouse gas emissions than half of humanity.
