Swift also bought more than double the amount of carbon credits needed to offset her private jet use for her Eras Tour, Paine told the Post on Monday.
What a joke.
Yep. The problem is that 90% of offsets are fraudulent. So just buying more doesn’t help
I hate how carbon credits are a thing. It’s just throwing money at a problem so people turn a blind eye to what you’re doing and not actually helping solve the problem.
I feel like we need a Martin Luther for climate issues. You can’t buy your way into heaven and you can’t buy imaginary climate credits. Plant a fucking tree or fly commercial.
Isn’t that Greta?
No, shes white
So was Luther.
Dr. Martin Luther King? Or Martin Luther the priest?
Beefytootz is making a reference to papal bulls, I don’t think the Dr. ever addressed them.
Bullshit. Offsets are a serious market solution to climate change.
I’m actually starting a retail business for them. You can use Venmo, or Cash App, to purchase offsets for your day to day climate killing activities.
I’m even running a special. Normally it’s $1 per mile driven, but today it’s only $0.85/mile AND I’ll throw in an offset for 5 pieces of petroleum based articles of clothing.
Once I’ve received payment, I’ll send you a photo of the trees you just saved.
See? Totally legit. You don’t have to thank me, just send me money. I’m happy to be doing my part!
If only 10% are real, then you just need to buy 1000% offsets!
Problem is that the more fraudulent offsets you buy, the more that get created to fill the demand for them. You can’t buy your way out of this problem.
Flight information is public. Sorry you don’t like that, but suing this student won’t change the availability of that information, and anyone could take their place in running a bot.
true, but for a layperson it requires a lot more effort and knowledge to find that information manually over visiting a single twitter profile. and if one bot creator is successfully sued it could discourage future attempts
Easier solution: stop using private jets. It’s good for the planet too.
It’s not feasible for possibly the worlds biggest artist right now to ride coach… She would take up the entire flight regardless with entourage and gear.
And that’s just ignoring the security aspect
I …don’t care?
Troubleshooting billionaires’ problems is super low in my list of priorities.
Why should anyone discourage people sharing information which is freely available?
They won’t be, because Elon failed at this already. Use of public information isn’t illegal. Aggregating and sharing that public information elsewhere or in a different format isn’t illegal (and is likely protected speech).
If she’s experienced some kind of harm, it’s not because the bot exists, it’s because the public information exists.
(Also, it’s absurdly easy to track a plane. Search for “live flight tracker” on your favorite search engine, and take your pick.)
Maybe don’t use a private jet then?
It would be a lot harder to track someone on a random flight in business class. And I can’t imagine business class is more expensive than flying private.It would be enormously easier to track Taylor Swift on a random flight in business class, because the moment people saw her on their random flight in business class it would turn into a social media frenzy.
As a non American, I wouldn’t care actually. You guys need to chillax with your celebrity fetishisation
Lol, you think only Americans worship celebrities? You need to travel more lol - shit is an issue everywhere, you ever seen a k-pop idol?
Some humans just fall for that shit for whatever reason.
Do you really think Taylor swift is just one person when she travels? And has two bags and a carry on?
I imagine the worlds biggest artist right now probably has enough crew and gear to fill an airplane by themselves.
Do you forget what community you’re in?
It’s insane to me that people in the CLIMATE community will bend over backwards to defend a celebrity with a fucking private jet.Seriously though, will you also defend Elon musk and Jeff Bezos for their use of private jets too?
Or is it only ok when it’s a “cool” celebrity?
Sweeney’s coverage, which uses publicly available data from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and broadcast signals from aircrafts…
Morrone added that there was “no legitimate interest in or public need for this information, other than to stalk, harass, and exert dominion and control”.
There’s no need for public information from the FAA and broadcast signals from aircraft except domination and control?
This dude has to be a republican.
Now she will get to learn about the Streisand Effect firsthand.
Transponders are, by necessity, public. What a ridiculous C&D.
She is a selfish cunt. Only a selfish cunt would fly a private jet every where they go.
I can’t imagine how large this ugly cunts CO2 footprint is.
Looks like this cunt is upset someone is calling her out on her selfish shitty behavior. I hope more people step up to track her so she gets even more upset.
We should be shaming cunts this like.
Jesus dude. You have agreeable points of view and then just destroy and legitimacy and sway you may have had with the playground insults. Maybe try and class up your language and people will listen to you more often. I know it’s the Internet but damn.
Swift: I’ve gained a lot of goodwill among people this last month, how can I ruin it and make myself look like an out of touch millionaire again?
Starting to get curious, what did she do that counts as goodwill?
Pissed off Maga and is helping young people to register and be politically active by voting. I liked that she was getting her fanbase involved so they would actually vote instead of just bitching. But now she’s gonna and done this, reminding us she’s nothing but an out of touch millionaire
an out of touch millionaire
You’re gonna wanna change out the m in the last word for a b, but otherwise true.
I believe her projected net worth is in the billion mark, as a brand, but she herself can’t have that much I would think. At least half her money must go to staff
I believe her projected net worth is in the billion mark, as a brand, but she herself can’t have that much I would think
Forbes would disagree and that’s literally the only topic that you can trust them on:
At least half her money must go to staff
If only!
