GoatandTricycle-
I don’t think travelling for your work is consumeristic.
I understand now. Thanks. The reason I didn't understand is becase that data doesn't split out business travel from leisure travel and I'm not clear on how likely somebody earning more than £58k is to travel internationally for work. Most of the people I know who earn less than £100k don't travel internationally for work at all. Its not that I disagree with you, just that the data isn't there to support your hypothesis. If your hypothesis is that the top 10% use so much more energy for flights becase of their jobs.

None. Which is part of the reason why lower income people have less of an environmental impact than higher earners, according to that data.
I still don't understand what you are getting at.
Bare in mind that there is no breakdown of the split between leisure/business flights for those people earning more than £58k.
