These celebrity-owned jets are the biggest CO2 polluters

On a side note, most big name celebrities rent/lease jets from the super wealthy owners of big corporations and companies.

Despite what Greta says, the elite really don't care how much CO2 gets released, they want to fly and yacht and limo anyway, and they can afford it.
The gov't really doesn't care how much CO2 is released either, except to collect a fee for every ounce.
And they've already given away their plan: make travel so expensive as to deny mobility to the masses.
Latest boondoggle: electric airplanes. You thought they haven't got electric cars perfected and practical yet? Try making a jet engine that runs on electricity. NONE EXIST. The few electric planes that exist are all propeller driven. The Pipistrel, the plane most quoted as the future of aviation, has a top speed of 113 mph, can only fly one hour before it must land and recharge, and can only carry one passenger (with NO luggage). Everything else is vaporware.
I think Hydrocarbon-fueled vehicles will continue to exist, you just can't afford to ride on them. But THEY can.

I feel the same. If I had as much money as these people, I would never fly commercial again. They just need to keep their mouths shut to us peons about “climate Change”. Some of them are too stupid to figure that out... DeCaprio, John Kerry, Harry and Me again etc..

[ealgeone]

They’re important and you’re not. That’s their rationale.

[Ex gun maker.]

Well it looks like they backed up their claim.
So I will not pass it on.
Now, about volcanoes and particulates, the meme might be true.

[GMThrust]

Who would’ve thought that movie to be prophetic?!

[The Mayor]

Agree

[Inyo-Mono]

Bttt.

[BitWielder1]

As long as they're not using taxpayer money to go lecture us about climate change, I'm OK with it.

I live in Florida - hurricanes are unpredictable until the last hours - imagine a million electric cars trying to flee, stuck on major hwys going north and running out of charge … thousands dead - months bringing gas powered generators to clear major highways. This is reality.

That Catturd tweet ought to be on billboards.

[FLT-bird]

I don’t mind it either.

BUT

If they’re going to preach the gospel of Gaia and call for others to make real cuts in their standard of living, you bet I’m going to throw it back in their faces when they themselves do not live up to what they preach. Hell, I’m gonna do it with gusto.

For much of Earth’s history the climate has been warmer, wetter, and had higher levels of CO2 (a trace gas). The planet would be better off with CO2 levels quite a bit higher than today’s. Climate change is driven by the Sun, variations in Earth’s orbit, and the wobbling of Earth on its axis.

I was in the big Virginia snowstorm last winter. Spent ten hours sitting still and another 3 hours driving till I could get gas. I was well below half a tank when I hit the traffic jam. I finally pulled over and slept in a parking lot. Zero worries about running out of gas or freezing. (I also had some survival gear.) Can’t imagine the anxiety the self-Righteous EV drivers were feeling.

[JoJo354]

It’s like the movies and shows are starting to get boring because they use this medium to lecture us about everything. It’s either virtue-signaling boring or so action-packed with things blowing up and killing that you have a hard time watching.

[Wuli]

It is not the CO2 that deserves complaints, it’s the hypocrisy of the elites and their do as I say, not as I do mentality.

[Organic Panic]

These important people need their jets to save the planet. And besides. They purchase carbon indulgences from The Holy Goreacle.

[TigersEye]

Certainly not this fast or this extensive. In a lot of ways I think societies around the world have well surpassed the movie.

[steve86]

Some of these short flights were repositioning the aircraft for maintenance. Not all.
