Eco-activists have been tracking the movements of billionaires, including Bernard Arnault, in order to identify the amount of pollution created by planes. Specifically, the account @i_fly_Bernanrd estimated that the private planes of wealthy people who flew into France emitted more than 200 tons of carbon dioxide in just 48 hours of flight time during the first month of fall.
