Stars who do not lack air… Drake and Taylor Swift are heavyweights in the music industry, as much as they weigh on the planet. They even leave their entire carbon footprint there, while flying about aboard their private planes.
The country pop singer has just been designated in this sense “the most polluting celebrity of the year”, while the rapper recently unleashed the wrath for having flew his jet empty simply to move it.
Many are the personalities caught in the flag and caught by the digital patrol for their lack of sobriety. And decency. “They’re telling us working class people to feel guilty about our annual theft on vacation while they take private jets every other day like it’s an Uber,” ignited comments on social networks.
“Celebrity Jets”, “I Fly Bernard”… So many sites and Twitter accounts that track these mismanagement through the sky, thanks to public online data, and provoke epidermal reactions. Both among Internet users and among those who see their bad manners displayed.
Some do not hesitate to file a complaint, which can lead to the seizure of equipment. The multi-billionaire boss of Tesla has offered the trifle of $ 5,000 to try to pass under the radar the account “ElonJet”, which scrutinizes all its air movements. Poor rich that we would like to deprive of their modest privileges, while they agree to so much effort in this world.
We can imagine, for example, that they of course avoid filling their infinity pool and watering their green in the middle of a heat wave. As for Taylor Swift, it’s unfair, she who often lends her little hello to other people to help.
Studies show that private flights release CO2 emissions2 per passenger from 5 to 14 times higher than commercial flights and 50 times higher than the train. This type of aviation, which has taken off since the pandemic, is now in trouble with the worsening climate crisis. His wealthy clients will have to resolve to have more lead in their brains.
