Kylie Jenner a ‘climate criminal’? Reality star is called out for 17-minute flight
The Los Angeles Times ^ | July 20, 2022 | Nadine Saad

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.

This illustrates the problem of a business being built on the reputation of one person.

This woman paid for her flight. Good for her.

Forget those who are paying for it, the politicians flying on the taxpayer money are an issue.

#14: "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."

Me too. I'm a hard core unreformed climate criminal. I'm going to got out back and throw a couple of more old tires onto the burn pile, just because I can. Cry me a river, Greta.

John F’ng Kerry is a liberal so it’s OK for him to be a hipocrit and a gigolo.

No love lost for Kylie. But to be fair I know amateur pilots who fly short distances all the time just because it's fun.

SJW NPCs do not have a concept of fun. Well, they do but the only thing they think is fun is destroying other people. It makes them feel special and powerful. Other than that they are just robots without independent thought.

I read just this morning that in the last year John Kerry’s jet has spewed out 325 tons of carbon.

Unless Kylie Jenner lectures others about climate change, tries to punish people driving internal combustion engine cars, etc., I don’t care what she does. If she can afford to fly a private jet from point A to point B, more power to her.

A friend of mine who is a private pilot occasionally joins in on these days where they hop from small airfield to small airfield. At each location they randomly pick a card from a deck.

When they land at the fifth airport they compare hands to see who has the best poker hand.

Sounds like great fun.

It turns out he was a climate criminal and got the death penalty... or at least that’s how the envirocommies think.

Obviously if I had my own aircraft I’d be flying it as much as I possibly could.

Kobe Bryant would fly in helicopters for short jaunts from his house all the time. Was he a climate criminal?

There is no way in Hades that a greenie would say "Kobe died for his sins." They'd get run out of SoCal, Kobe has achieved sainthood in LA.

Yet Biden can fly 7000 miles to beg the Saudis for more oil. And this doesn’t count the spare 747 and the cargo planes to transport the Beast and spare fuel.

I saw the C-17 with his limousine.

It lifted off the runway just East of me. I watched it climb out. That was back in 2009.

Agree completely.

Besides that, it’s HER money. None of it came out of my pockets.

“Climate Criminal”

I resemble that remark and burned 10 gallons of years old gas in a burn barrel this morning. Have another 15 gallons to go.

Just trying to do my part.
