    How do you think your cell phone that you’re using to type this nonsense got to you?

    Very probably on a boat.

      Do you live in China? If not, it may have gotten to you by a combination of means definitely involving an airplane. Even if it didn’t make it to you directly, it likely travelled to several different places before it even got in your hands and the likelihood of an airplane being part of that is extremely high.

          No one’s talking about rich assholes. We’re talking about the top 1% of travelers. That may include some rich assholes but that’s not what the article is talking about. It’s talking about the top 1% of travelers which also includes scientists, public figures, and missionaries.
