An EU court has said the manufacture of private jets can’t be excluded from a list of activities deemed to be environmentally sustainable, fuelling concerns about the greenwashing of the emissions of the super-rich.

The list, intended to provide an ⁠overview of green investments, previously excluded aircraft for private or commercial business aviation due to their high emissions compared with other forms of transport following a 2023 decision by the European Commission.

The court argued that the 2023 ruling was made with a number of errors, including that other modes of transport couldn’t necessarily be seen as low-carbon alternatives as they “lack the flexibility and speed” of private jets.

    Again with the weak sauce language from (supposedly) “leftist” media. No, Novara Media, it’s not “fuelling concerns about the greenwashing of the emissions of the super-rich” it absolutely fucking IS the greenwashing of the emissions of the super-rich.

    These people should be force-fed the writings of Rosa Luxembourg and Lucy Parsons until they remember how to use real language again.
