1,500 private jets coming to Davos

Even though jet travel is a major contributor to global warming, the pluto-kakisto-klepto-cracy coming to the World Economic Forum in Davos will arrive in an estimated 1,500 private jets. One of the topics that the 0.001% will be discussing at the Swiss Ski resort is global warming.

From Inquisitr:

In general, private jet travel to the event has increased by about 11 percent year over year, according to the Air Charter Service (ACS), which charters aircraft for cargo and private use.

"There appears to be a trend towards larger aircraft, with expensive heavy jets the aircraft of choice," said Andy Christie, private jets director at the ACS. "Gulfstream GVs and Global Expresses [were] both used more than 100 times each last year."
