Taylor Swift’s Carbon Emissions By Chris Knight (Florida)
Taylor Swift was once a song bird, singing the usual stuff. But, then, she seems to have been called to duty by the woke, Left and globalists, to champion all the standard causes, and influence her so-called army of "Swifties," who will apparently do anything she says. If that is not a cult-like mentality, what is? Thus, Swift supported the trans agenda, but was big on climate change, which she described as a "horrific situation." However, the need to reduce carbon emissions is something the plebs must do, not the elites, such as represented by the 400 private jets that took globalists to the Davos meeting this year.
Back to Swift and her carbon emissions. Her recent Eras tour, that loaded her up with lots of yummy money, with her private jet, resulted in 139 metric tons of carbon dioxide being released, while the average punter emitted only 16 tons. Now, while the likes of Bill Gates "justify" their private jet carbon emissions by saying that he is saving the world, and to make tasty omelettes, eggs must be broken, Taylor Swift can hardly take that line; she is no John Lennon and does not sing about the environment and communism (e.g. Imagine), just romantic nonsense. In a few years' time, her popularity will disappear, as time and carbon emissions wait for no singer. The fall of Swift, will be swift!
"Taylor Swift once called global warming a "horrific situation." But it was apparently not horrific enough to stop her from flying her private jet during her recent "Eras" tour.
A new study from the found that Taylor Swift's carbon emissions from private jet use during the North and South American portions of the "Eras" tour amounted to 139 metric tons of carbon dioxide. That is nearly nine times the average American's annual emissions 16 tons.
The study from online carbon accounting platform Greenly, which was reported by Newsweek, estimated the North American leg of Swift's tour lasting nearly a year, generated 77.5 tons over almost 113 flight hours.
For her South American leg, she is estimated to have emitted 61.6 tons. As a result, Swift spewed an estimated 139 tons of CO2e into the atmosphere.
This doesn't include the Asian and European legs of her tour.
As Breitbart News reported, Swift sold one of her gas-guzzling private jets for $40 million a few months ago amid threats to sue a college student who has been tracking her emissions. The singer kept her larger plane."
