celebrities contribute a lot but it’s more various governments contributing in large amounts
Meanwhile John Kerry
Of course the wealthy contribute more to climate change. They live in larger homes, have multiple properties, travel more etc…..in Canada we have a PM charging a carbon tax on fuel so that the regular consumer will travel less. Right now he is in Costa Rica on a vacation. Do as I say, not as I do comes to mind. Hypocrites.
Precisely they can stop the virtue signalling and actually clean up their own act
Private jets? A tempest in a teapot. Go after government and military use, commercial jets, internal combustion cars, power generation, etc. Look at what Republicans are doing to block attempts to reduce global warming. We are being very stupid about what is now inevitable.
Looks like celebrities stole greta Thunberg's childhood…
American hypocrisy…what's new 🤣🤣🤣
An individual flying in a jet is OK. That is her right as human a being what is wrong is that institutions a nation state which is a legal person has no right to control the right of a person. The industries of a legal person meaning business (companies) and governments polluting the earth is being overlooked by passing on the blame game.
Steven Spielberg is the only one of actual substance on that list. The rest are just par to subpar people. Fact. Looking at you 1 through 5.
Who freaking cares, this climate propaganda needs to stop…
What happened to carbon tax? It should be based on percentage of their income and networth. That’s the only way to stop them from doing this. Even for large corporations trying to profit off of Mother Nature. The damages we get from floods, droughts, people losing lives from global warming, global hunger, food inflation, farmers can’t grow their foods are all collateral damage from global warming. Why do we the people have to pay the price for their so call luxury.
It only took NBC news 7 yrs to catch up to this?al gore used more in one plane trip than I'll use in a yr of driving.
What about all those WEF billionaire globalists who fly to meet annually in Davos, Switzerland?
di caprio the biggest advovate of climate change.
CRITICIZE PREACHERS WITH PRIVATE JETS.
Anyone who is claiming we are in a climate crisis due to carbon emissions and is not calling for a complete ban on private jets is a hypocrite and a climate criminal! John Kerry and Taylor Swift are at the top of that list. As well as all the elites in Hollywood named in this report. If they don’t demand a ban , they have the blood on their hands of all the deaths by flood, fire, hurricane , heat waves , rising oceans etc. Take a commercial flight like the rest of the world .
What languages is this guy slurring? I can't listen to this "ow may I elp U' clown.
You started by saying "ONLY A FEW PEOPLE" so, in reality, it's only a drop in the bucket next to all polluting travel overall…
I don’t see how repositioning their private jet should not be considered part of their movement. If anything it is a multiplier of their use.
considering toronto traffic, i couldn't really blame someone for flying to hamilton!
Who cares if they aren't riding in it? They are still responsible for it every time it takes off. They don't want the hassle of dealing with people and fans in airports and planes. It's not always about fast travel. I could understand if Swift is on Tour going to another city night after night but for everyday life why contribute to the earth's demise?
Private jet should be regulated…
People criticize celebrities for throwing money around without realizing these are monsters of OUR creation. If people don't like wasteful celebrities…stop making selfish pigs celebrities!
Or….stop making celebrities completely! It's unhealthy, anyways!

Celebrities use a ridiculous amount of resources and receive a ridiculous amount of money. None of them are that important. Not one.
Taylor swift is a climate criminal!

WHAT HAPPENED TO Ukrainian NEWS 🗞 ???
When do we get to hear stories about how Capital cities in Canada still have series decaying asbestos pipes that feed most of the cities drinking water to their taps and how one capital city is about to spend a Billion dollars on a new Museum?, my bet is never, Fluff stories are funny, especially when flung by lower intelligent individuals that the Broadcasting networks spin to the public that they are on top of the current issues that effect the health of our citizens. The news today is just a joke to people of high intelligence.
If you want to save the planet people must not cut down any trees especially in Amazon forest.
