Kylie Jenner was recently called out for flaunting her private jet on Instagram. She and her partner, Travis Scott, were termed as ‘climate criminals’ for using jets for a journey of less than 20 minutes from Van Nuys in Los Angeles to the nearby town of Camarillo. She was heavily criticized because her small journey would have emitted tons of carbon dioxide, causing a lot of damage to the planet, which is already experiencing the devastating effects of climate change. However, the Kardashians star is not the only celebrity who is damaging the environment.

The account’s information revealed that stars such as Floyd Mayweather, Kim Kardashian, and Drake tend to take flights that last less than 30 minutes and have significant CO2 emissions.

Scott Hochberg, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute, criticized celebrities for using flights to travel short distances and stated,

“These startlingly short flights show the immense impact of the wealthy on overall aviation emissions. The problem starts at the top with Kylie Jenner and other celebrities with private jets, which have a much larger impact than commercial aircraft on a per passenger basis. But it also includes many others, as the US constitutes the bulk of the wealthy elite that have the luxury of flying.”

Amongst all the names, rapper and singer Drake’s CO2 emissions were the highest due to which he received criticism online.

However, some users also pointed out how Drake was exempted from the criticism due to his gender.

Hopefully, the online criticism will make the celebrities realize that their actions are causing immense harm to the planet. The realization might stop some stars from using their jets to travel short distances.
