Private aviation is basically nothing in terms of emissions. Is pretty gross though.
Can you please support your statement with a reference to the source of that data?
https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector
All aviation is 1.9% .. Private would be a vanishingly small amount of that.
That link does not have information on the contribution of private aviation. You are assuming it.
In this BBC article on What's the climate impact of private jets you can read that
"Emissions per kilometre travelled [using an airplane] are known to be significantly worse than any other form of transport.
(...)
Private jets generally produce significantly more emissions per passenger than commercial flights."
If you already knew the answer why did you ask?
Did I knew the source that supported the comment of /u/malaph, no, I didn't. I don't have premonition abilities.
Are you okay?
