Explained The End UK private jets t-shirt message on protestor who interrupted Laver Cup clash between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman
By Gauri Awasthi Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The second singles match of the day at the Laver Cup was interrupted by an invader Friday's 2022 Laver Cup match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman was briefly interrupted by an invader, who outwitted security to scramble his way onto the court. The person in question sat down for a brief instant while displaying his t-shirt that read 'End UK private jets', only to light his arm on fire moments later. Waqas RF وقاص @Fed_43600https://t.co/oyGtY12MfW While the act itself was unceremonious, the message finds plenty of relevance at a time when climate action and justice are as essential as ever. A study published in Science Direct has revealed how private jets, with fewer than 10 people on board, account for about 7,500 tons of carbon emissions every year, way more than commercial aviation. The startling growth in private aviation in recent years has become an alarming addition to climate change and is a crucial topic of dialogue in climate activism. Therefore, it is not a matter of surprise that an intruder found it pertinent to display such a message at a tournament whose participants flew in by private jets. The likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, among others, were seen arriving in London for the ongoing Laver Cup in their respective private jets. Renowned tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg was able to sympathize with the intruder, opining how calling out the players for their incautious actions towards the climate is justified. "The tennis tour is already very climate unfriendly with its travel demands, so critiquing private jet use for an exhibition match feels fully just," wrote Ben Rotherberg on Twitter.
