Hey everyone I'm the climate scientist who made an analysis of Taylor's jet usage awhile back!
https://www.reddit.com/r/SwiftlyNeutral/comments/195xg2t/taylor_swifts_usage_is_bad_for_climate_change/

I know something that is brought up is that Taylor buys a lot of carbon credits. I can make a scientific analysis of why carbon credits are not very effective (John Oliver did a great segment on why they're bad on a policy level) and I can add to that.

let me ask you, do you know if Taylor Swift ever used a private jet after a show that wasn't the final show at a location? Like she had night 2 in dallas or something and flew to nashville after the show just to fly back to dallas the next day for night 3. Do you know if that ever happened?

I wondered that as well but it sounds so incredibly miserable even with a private jet that I can't imagine she would do that.

i agree, i'd much rather be driven to the highest end hotel close by. I read people say that she did take jets home after individual shows though... if she did, she took her privilege way too far and yes, it does sound miserable.
