Davos man says no to free rail, yes to private jets
Propaganda about carbon dioxide in the atmosphere isn’t a concern for the wealthy when there’s a choice between free but slow public transport and an expensive private jet. That illustrates their minimal or zero real concern about any so-called climate crisis, just like many of the rest of us.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is compensating political, business, academic, and celebrity elites who travel to next week’s Davos summit by low-emission rail, but delegates seem happier to stick with their private jets to go to Switzerland, says Euractiv.
Transport is the main source of emissions from the WEF’s annual Davos summit, where leaders from different walks of life meet to discuss the most pressing global issues.
While delegates may be preoccupied with saving the world, climate change does not seem to weigh too heavily on their mind. NGO T&E say that a big share of Davos’ transport emissions come from private jets.
This year, despite WEF offering a 100% discount on rail fares for those coming to Davos from within Europe, jets seem likely to remain delegates’ preferred option, according to T&E. Just like in 2023, when there were 660 private jet flights.
In response to an enquiry from its ‘Travel Smart’ campaign, only multinational firms Saint-Gobain and KPMG confirmed they would travel by commercial airline or train to reach Davos.

The WEF says that, during the snowy [sic] summit, Davos delegates will be “encouraged to walk” and provided with “winter shoe grips.” But it may not be enough to offset their carbon footprint.
