‘Green’ Antoinettes Preaching Austerity From Private Jets

Politicians, celebrities and billionaires who lecture about carbon footprints operate by a separate set of rules. Living in ostentatious opulence, they exude spectacular hypocrisy that is rarely challenged by media outlets amplifying their climate warnings.
Even scientists fly thousands of miles to United Nations climate conferences, adding to emissions of greenhouse gases they claim are destroying the Earth. This is two-tiered climate morality where those with power indulge in luxuries while ordinary folks are asked to sacrifice living standards. Preaching austerity from a private jet has become the “let-them-eat-cake” of our age.
The question is not whether the hypocrisy is real, but why it is so openly tolerated? Perhaps because so many people have found ways to profit through “green” subsidies and grift.
Yard Digital’s published data (for 2022) reports high-profile figures like Taylor Swift and Leonardo DiCaprio emitting 3,000 to 4,400 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually from jet-setting alone – hundreds or thousands of times the average citizen’s output.
