Frequent Flyers the #6 CO2-Emitting Country

I don't know what "Bitcoin territory" means here -- perhaps the same level of CO2 being produced by Bitcoin mining -- but the stats on flying are telling nonetheless.

Only 3% of the world's population flies each year. Half of those people fly once a month or more.

Together, the 1.5% of people who are frequent fliers would be the 6th largest emitting country in the world—just by their aviation emissions alone. This is Bitcoin territory here. https://t.co/vk2DQSrM1t
