It’s astonishing to see the blatant anti-climate change comments here. Sure it’s stupid to sue, but she’s just been vilified by the GOP conspiracy theorists, is probably getting thousands of death threads by the crazies, so a little security worry isn’t completely unsurprising.

So hey, lets pick up this disgusting FOX news propaganda about her jet and project all the climate woes onto this women! I can’t believe how well this shit worked!

How about you put the carbon costs for her jet onto the consumer: Every single climate monster going to Taylor Swifts concert is ultimately the consumer for the CO2 released by her jet. I mean there are thousands of them!

Do people even know the impact her private jet has? Presumably she’s also not flying alone but with her entourage. There are also new jet designs that are much less polluting, but our economy isn’t working towards that, it’s just maximizing profit and greenwashing. But hey, lets shit on Taylor Swift!

If you want to argue that all music concerts are evil, then do that. Stop listening to music made by the music-industrial complex.

The last despicable thing here is that it spreads the propaganda that climate change is a problem of individual behavior. It’s not. Only a plan on a global level to transform our economy could have stopped it. But guess what, we’ve already not done it. And we’re not gonna because of propaganda like this. So congratulations.

The level of stupidity really baffles me.

Swift has been getting crap for the overuse of her jet for a couple of years now, this isn’t new. She’s been found to be one of the most prolific flyers nearing if not topping the list. It’s also been found that she is flying extremely frequently when she’s not on tour. Last number I saw estimated near 3 times a week at the most to fly back and forth to see a boyfriend that she could have driven to.

It’s fine to say that it’s all for security, but she’s been flaunting it for a long while and any idea that she’s including members of her tour or entourage on her jet is complete speculation. At a certain point we have to accept that she doesn’t actually care about the environment. Which is fine, she’s a billionaire and very few of them if any really do.

Thanks for the info, didn’t know that. But I’d still say this is a drop in the bucket and irrelevant to the solutions we’d have to target. Meanwhile this is politically motivated to get Trump elected and divert from climate change.

She is a selfish cunt. Only a selfish cunt would fly a private jet every where they go.

I can’t imagine how large this ugly cunts CO2 footprint is.

Looks like this cunt is upset someone is calling her out on her selfish shitty behavior. I hope more people step up to track her so she gets even more upset.

We should be shaming cunts this like.

Just curious, do you expect her to fly on commercial airliners? Would you imagine the chaos this would cause for the flight. I dont agree with use of private jets, but I kind of dont have a alternative solution for transportation of famous people either.

Well then don’t travel all over the world every god damn day.

Listen chief. We don’t NEED billionaires flying all over the world every day spewing fuck tons of co2 into the air.

This is why she is selfish cunt.

My guy, if she wants to keep earning money on her concerts she kind of does need to fly around. Does she fly frequently unnecessarily, definitely. I get that you’re angry, but it should not blind you to reality of why people fly private jets. It’s the first step to fixing the problem.

She is selfish by using a private jet. It’s wilfully rude and harmful to other people. Just like calling her a cunt, a demeaning use of a dreogatory term for female genitalia is. At least she can justify her cuntness under privacy. Can you justify yours?

In this thread: People so upset about using the word cunt they are willing to ignore the actions of some celebrity contributing to the culture of excess that is harmful to our world, while at the same time making herself look like an uneducated child by tossing threats that have no bite. She’s now Mini-Elon to me.

That’s the thing for me about this kind of ad hominem bollocks: the discussion invariably goes: “she’s an ugly cunt” “no need for that” “why are you so offended” “you should focus on the point at hand rather than calling names” “people are so upset by a word that they lose focus of the point at hand”, then the conversation just becomes about why we’re not talking about the thing we were talking about.

Plus like, if someone’s reading this who’s worried about being ugly, they might feel a bit worse about themselves, and I don’t think that’s the kind of environment we want to cultivate. So, selfish cunt: certainly. Ugly cunt: bit far.

Jesus dude. You have agreeable points of view and then just destroy and legitimacy and sway you may have had with the playground insults. Maybe try and class up your language and people will listen to you more often. I know it’s the Internet but damn.

Cunt is perfectly acceptable in Australia and even the UK. We don’t need to be so offended by words with little power.

Cunt is not perfectly acceptable in Australia or the UK. It’s used more commonly and is acceptable in certain situations. Here it is being used in a derogatory, sexist way. That’s not acceptable in either. You need to spend time off the Internet, in the real world.

In the US, if you don’t want to agree with someone, you don’t attack their points, you attack them personally. That way you don’t have to argue against the points and can distract the focus of the conversation altogether.

I came across this site a few years ago. Free to all with no login, they allow you to search for any call sign and show it on a map, complete with path from originating airport.

They have a free account allowing you to do even more (single plane) and 25 planes will cost you US$40/year. Android and iOS apps available.

They also have information on how to get or build the necessary equipment.

The most recent information I can get with a simple Google search shows that the call sign of one of her planes is N621MM, although other links suggested that she has more than one plane and has sold planes to escape this tracking.

Knock yourself out. Post it all over the damn place. Streisand effect FTW.

Not that i’m against trains, but to my knowledge there is still no railway that crosses Panama let alone the Atlantic and Pasific oceans.

The United States doesn’t even have tracks across all of the land-connected states. South Dakota and Wyoming don’t have Amtrak - if I’m not mistaken they have no public train services and you’d need a Greyhound bus.

Alaska and Hawaii too, although those are least understandable why given their location.
