Celebrities are under fire for their frequent use of private jets and its effect on the environment, following recent study which ranked celebrities based on carbon emissions from their private jets, in order to uncover their contributions to climate change.
Pop star Taylor Swift ranked first, racking up more than 8,000 tonnes of emissions in the first 200 days of this year, or 1,184 times more than the average person’s total annual emissions, according to the study by sustainability marketing firm Yard.
Several other celebrities ranked high on Yard’s list, including Jay Z, Oprah Winfrey, and Kim Kardashian.
Taylor Swift’s team issued a statement to Rolling Stones following the backlash, clarifying that she wasn’t on most of those flights as the jet is loaned out regularly.
