An axe-murderer boards a plane in New York City. He’s on a mission of pure evil. Under instructions from the head of his local crime syndicate, he is to hack to death all members of a rival family in Sicily. That family is rumoured to be “horning in” on the drug and sex-trade in New York. Such a threat cannot, of course, be allowed to stand. The wife and 3 children are to be dispensed with first, while the father, bound nearby, watches helplessly. Then, it’ll be his turn - a powerful message to ayone who dares to threaten the turf of its American rivals. The assassin’s weapon-of-choice is stowed securely in the belly of the plane (with the axe’s razor-sharp head made of stone, fiendishly designed to avoid metal-detectors). He’s on his way.
The next day, an elite athlete boards an identical aircraft, also in New York, headed for a crucial competition in Paris. The world renowned track-&-field star is internationally famous for her prowess and the millions of girls who look up to her as a role-model. She’s widely known and well-loved for her generosity, donating her considerable wealth to worthy charities. Coincidentally, she’ll travel an identical distance as the assassin, producing precisely the same amount of greenhouse gases as he in the process! The moral of the story? It’s not just bad, wicked people who are aggravating our climate crisis. We are all in this, together.
