This isnt a good argument. For Fox News carbon emissions are irrelevant or good or whatever. But since Taylor Swift is saying she cares about the environment and according to her carbon emissions are bad for the environment, it is hypocritical to use a private jet.

The problem Fox News have with Taylor Swift isnt her carbon emissions, it is her hypocrisy.

Exhibit A of Republican pretending to care about hypocrisy or a Democrat that fell for Republican propaganda.

Nope. A lot of us see the problem as people saying "we need to do X, but not me". So much of the issue is people admitting there is a problem but denying that they have any impact. It's always someone's else's problem.

And some of us are sick of it from both sides.

Congratulations proving their point.

The sensible solution is dismantling corporations and getting rid of billionaires, whether by sword or by hammer. Senseless infighting and bothside-ism is the realm of useful idiots and ill-intentioned manipulators.

You mean billionaires like Taylor Swift too then, right?
