I mean, private jets are pretty ridiculous. How should they be dealt with? Wouldn’t a carbon-tax hit jet fuel pretty hard?
You mean to tell me that other people have private jets?!
Oligarchs going to oligarch
There has to be a company that would sell a carbon offset scenario to these private jet owners, right? Like for every flight the owners take this company would calculate the carbon emissions, and then buy an acre of protected land in the Amazon rainforest to make up for it so that the owner could say they are carbon neutral. Or plant 50 trees or build some facility that draws carbon from the atmosphere?

Nice try, Taylor.
It’s funny, Exxon,Chevron and Shell just announced record profits, but all I’m seeing is Taylor Swift’s airplane usage in the news…
Oh wow. It’s not just Taylor Swift? Huh….. I wonder why there is so much recent attention on her specifically……
Maybe she is recognized as a bit too powerful by people that are threatened by the prospect of her encouraging young fans to registering to vote.
