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.

The Kardashians are noxious irrelevant twits.
But they are fine examples of successful capitalists.

LOL. Poor ditzy Kylie is getting shredded by the woke police as a climate criminal. Btw, their language isn’t metaphorical; they really mean it and think of her as a criminal. I don’t think Kylie would hold up too well in woke activist jail.

If climate change was real, and bad, anyone who flew in a private jet would be a climate criminal.

I very much dislike these reality stars who have very little (aka - nothing) positive to contribute to my life...

But I don’t care if they take their private plane to the bathroom... What I DO care about is their absolute hypocrisy. Don’t dictate MY life - then do the opposite your self. That is one of the most egregious forms of dishonesty -

What is needed is to KNOW that the ‘Twitterati’ are people with a computer, internet connection and a Twitter account. No where in that list is education, experience, consideration, intelligence ... and any number of other factors! Thus to make any kind of story from the Twitter Posts alone is to be guilty of gross negligence.

That being said, we are in the modern world where there are no editors or proof readers, where the vacuum of the 24/7/365 need permits even idiots to get a posting! What a MESS!

As for Bruce/Kylie, gee, why waste the brain cells!

The roughly 40-mile jaunt could have taken about 45 minutes by car

Try more like 2 hours

About five years ago it took me a full four hours to cover the 100 miles from Newbury Park to Corona. I started at 2 o'clock and got there at 6 o'clock. How people live in this asphalt/concrete jungle is beyond me.
