I suspect this chart looks even worse if you do it on carbon emissions not energy used, given that 0% of aviation emissions are renewable and some >0% of most other things will be.
Setting aside spurious "carbon offsets" of course.

This graph makes no sense to me.
I wonder if the flights are all personal or work related in which case we are back to job inequality as much as energy.

Surprised that housing is low compared to travel, assumed that all that gas would be far higher than flying/car.
Also public transport is surprisingly high (eg compared to housing). Wonder how they calculate it.

Much worse than I would have expected. Wow.
Although worth remembering that while the richest 10% account for such a huge chunk of flying emissions, the aviation industry only contributes 2% to global emissions overall. Its a large percentage of a smaller contributory factor.
The "other energy use" bit is mental. Would like to see a breakdown.
