The addendum is interesting:
... this finding broadly assumes that all celebrities were using the same grade of private jet, whereas, in reality, there are some jets on the list which emit far more emissions than others. Therefore, revisiting calculations, taking into account the specific jets being used, rather than use a broad estimate of CO2e, we have the consumption of jet fuel during each of these trips, and then identified the CO2e per gallon of jet fuel.
Interestingly [with] these different calculations, we see that the jet owned by Drake uses an average of 1,722 gallons of jet fuel per hour, whereas Taylor Swift’s jet uses a much lower 347 gallons per hour.
taytay's jet is 5x more efficient than Drake's, which makes Drake look like an irresponsible fuckhead (surprising no one). His plane is basically rolling coal. Even with the adjustments, Swift still tops the list:
- 1 Taylor Swift 2,971.50
- 2 Drake 2,904.25
- 3 Floyd Mayweather 2,205.22
- 4 Puma/Jay-Z 2,107.72
- 5 Kim Kardashian 1,752.51
- 6 A-Rod 1,731.10
- 7 Steven Spielberg 1,485.69
- 8 Mark Wahlberg* 1,443.27
- 9 Blake Shelton 1,357.85
- 10 Jack Nicklaus 1,129.66
Which means she's flying a lot more miles than everyone else.
