    Raising awareness of private jet usage by targeting politicians is not going to be as effective as targeting high profile celebrities.

    The positive is hopefully that rich folk start reducing their private jet usage so they dont get raked over thr coals and have a jet-usage-tracking-account publishing their ridiculous flights.

    Extreme carbon usage like that is a huge issue (if not the defining issue) at the moment to a large amount of people.
    Shine a light on all of it, expose it all. Every polititian doing stupid stuff, every rich CEO, every celeb. But it has to start somewhere

      But somehow it’s really important to raise awareness of this issue by targeting the most visible woman that is doing this. If you don’t think this is part of a wider problem, you’re not paying attention.

        The person being criticized happens to be a woman. Musk has been criticized for the same shit, back when he tried to sue the guy tracking his private jet on Twitter. Guess who’s trying to do the same thing right now?

        If she didn’t try sue someone for posting public information, nobody would have cared. Textbook Streisand effect. I believe, she deserves to be called out for that.

        There is no point in calling out Musk anymore. Everyone already knows he is a piece of shit.

        Ok, well TS has been roasted over this.
        Who is next?

        The roasters have shown billionaires are carbon spewing POS.
        Theyve shown musics favourite isnt innocent of this, nor immune to scruitiny.

        Targeting a politician isnt worthwhile, unless its a super hypocritical action (like greta taking private jets).

        I guess a movie star? Someone from “dont look up”, a parable for climate change denial? Hits the hypocrytical stance. Plenty of celebs in that.
        Cant target J-Law, cause she is a woman (and thats unnaceptable to you).
        Leo is already known as an oddity (what with never dating anyone older than 24).
        So, Jonah Hill i guess?
        Could try Rob Morgan. Hes black, i dunno how that fits into your prejudice of who can and cant be targetted.
        Altho, they are only the actors. Maybe better to go after the writer/director/producer Adam McKay. Hes white, in his 50s, has had a successful career. Sounds perfect
