Not defending her, but ...

Kylie Jenner is a lot of things: a reality star, a makeup icon, a businesswoman, a billionaire and now, apparently, a “climate criminal.”
“The Kardashians” star hit some rough air for taking her private jet on a 17-minute flight from Camarillo, Calif., to Van Nuys, Calif., last Tuesday. The roughly 40-mile jaunt could have taken about 45 minutes by car — or more, depending on L.A. traffic.
The turbulent statistics about her air travel were compiled by @CelebJets, a celebrity jet tracker on Twitter, which posted about Jenner’s route from Ventura County to L.A. County. (An initial post sparked the backlash when the trip was set to take approximately three minutes but was later amended when the flight landed.)
*** Still, Twitter users were quick to shoot down the star and dub her “Kylie Jenner: full time climate criminal.”
*** Private jet travel has been booming in Hollywood since the COVID-19 pandemic as A-listers, cast and crew members opt to fly private or charter flights because they’re nervous about getting infected on commercial airlines or dealing with cancellations, suspensions and other travel-related headaches that have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
Private jets generally produce significantly more emissions per passenger than commercial flights, according to the BBC, further contributing to the climate crisis.
*** According to @CelebJets, Drake took a 20-minute trip from Barcelona to Ibiza, Spain, but didn’t get as much heat about it, perhaps because it was an island hop.
The account, which tracks celebrities and their private air travel daily, also posted this week about director Steven Spielberg, who took a 24-minute flight from Teterboro, N.J., to the Hamptons in New York.

Maybe we should just ban private planes, you know, for the children....../s
Kobe Bryant would fly in helicopters for shortjauants from his house all the time. Was he a climate criminal?
Why didn’t she take a helicopter like Kobe?
Oops, nevermind
I have not heard Kylie Whatshername preaching to people like me about the evils of climate change like that fake, phony fraud John Kerry does constantly.
As long as Kylie isn’t preaching against climate change or global warming I don’t care. If she has the money she can do whatever she wants. I don’t care.

Try more like 2 hours
Well it's O.K. for Kerry because, well because he says he's important.
Virtue Grandstanding is a fulltime job for some.
“...further contributing to the climate crisis.”
Oh, puh-leaze!
Besides, aren’t we way beyond “crisis” and now deep into “emergency” territory?
Was Kobe Bryant a ‘Climate Criminal’, too?......................
I’m Proud to be a climate criminal. I consider it my moral obligation to burn as much “fossil fuel” as I possibly can in an effort to stave off the next Ice Age, which is absolutely guaranteed!!
This is another leftist tactic that is becoming increasingly common - use of the term “crime” or “criminal” to describe behaviors or opinions which have not been made illegal by a legislature .
This enables “trials” by “people’s courts”.
Climate Criminal - I like it.
Think I’ll get a t shirt or a bumper sticker made.
But, you see, Kobe Bryant was a liberal. A liberal who received the death penalty for abusing the climate as an example to all us pee ons for his abuse of the climate by using fossil fuels. / sarchasm
To all enviro-nuts: Save the Planet, Kill Yourself. That will make more difference than everything else you will do while alive.
