Scientists have concluded that the Bezos helicopter emitted 97 kilograms of carbon dioxide particles into the atmosphere during this voyage.

Gates and Bezos often stay on their yachts, each of which emits 7,020 tons of carbon dioxide per year or 19 tons per day.

In addition to pollution, public outrage has sparked their squandering of money. Namely, Gates for this birthday trip rented a luxury yacht with a gym, jacuzzi and pool at a price of $1.7 million per week.
