According to a report, Lionel Messi’s private jet generated as much carbon dioxide in three months as the typical Frenchperson would in 150 years.
52 flights are said to have been taken by the plane between June 1 and August 31.
Zach Lowy for L’Equipe reported that 14 trans-Atlantic flights and 30 intercontinental trips in just three months resulted in extremely high carbon emissions.
1,502 tons of carbon dioxide were emitted by the jet in total over the course of three months.
The evidence reveals a string of trans-Atlantic journeys, mostly to Miami but also included one to New York.
He took five flights between Miami and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Additionally, three journeys were made between Miami and Montevideo, Uruguay, on June 10, June 22, and June 23.
Additionally, there are flights between Europe and South America as well as flights to and from Brazil.
During the Ligue 1 offseason, the PSG forward also flew seven times to or from Barcelona.
Additionally, there were trips to Tenerife, Bilbao, Nice, and Figari.
The discovery comes amid several climate change warnings and calls for humanity to do more to protect the environment.
