If it's mostly jets and boats, what happens to climate goals if those were suddenly regulated? Or even outlawed? You know, for the sake of the world?

So, as pointed out in another similar post, these figures include the investments as well. A little misleading in the title, but technically true. Either way, it's insane how often the average citizen gets preached to about their individual carbon footprint.
