Prince Albert of Monaco is a vocal climate champion. But every year Monaco hosts a yacht show for billionaires, starting today. As if celebrating mega-polluting super-yachts wasn't enough antisocial behavior: hundreds fly in by private jet. (We've tracked them!)

@taxprivatejets.org are tracking private jet flights into Nice where many attendees will board helicopters for the 7-minute rise to Monaco. The tracking shows 1,737 private jet flights during the 2025 show - emitting the same level of CO2 as 281,972 French citizens across four days.

What's worse than a private jet? Taking a private jet to buy your next super-yacht, that's what. One of Europe's largest yacht shows is taking place in Monaco - a gross display of excess and emissions. Activists from @all-eco-sociale.bsky.social greeted this year's super emitters at the airport.

The chart keeps rising: airline profits on one axis, human suffering on the other. @jensorensen.bsky.social illustrates the truth about modern-day air travel: for the executives flying private, everything is working exactly as intended. inthesetimes.com/article/airl...
Four-panel comic by Jen Sorensen titled “Fly the Maxed Out Skies,” satirizing modern air travel. One panel shows an airplane seating chart with escalating fees for “preferred” seats and extra legroom, plus a joke about charging $29 for restroom access. Other panels depict an anxious passenger stuck 19th in line for takeoff and a traveler sprinting through an airport after delays leave an impossibly tight connection. In the final panel, an airline executive stands beneath a graph showing profits rising alongside “human suffering units” and boasts, “We’ve transformed billions of HSUs into profits!”
