I severely doubt those emissions are anything but negligible because there are so few yachts and jets.
Edit: Yeah, just downvoting is cheap, so here's just a single statistic for you: https://ourworldindata.org/global-aviation-emissions
Total aviation is responsible for about 2.5% of worldwide carbon emissions. That's all air travel, private jets included. While it's obviously very popular to focus on the luxuries of the rich, it just won't be effective to focus on those when fighting climate change, let alone being a solution as you claimed.
What's an easier solution, in your opinion? Getting the ultra wealthy to give up their yachts and jets (by getting rid of the ultra wealthy entirely, which also addresses the evils of capitalism), or convincing hundreds of millions of people to change just about everything about the diet they've been eating for tens of thousands of years?
That's actually a good question. Considering the political power the ultra-rich wield, I'm not sure. But I think we should focus what brings the most bang for the buck.
wait until you find out about all of the infrastructure and build costs for these things.
realistically we should do everything, but transit is one of the significant providers of emissions, along with power production and agriculture.
