Reports based on recent flight records say Taylor Swift's private jet may have produced more carbon in about three months than the entire 2024 legs of the Eras Tour did.
Figures reported by International Business Times UK from aviation tracking service JetSpy say Swift's Dassault Falcon 7X returned to service in early March and has since flown 81 times, spending 169 hours airborne.
The aircraft reportedly burned about 60,560 gallons of fuel and generated roughly 639 tons of carbon pollution. That likely exceeds the roughly 557 tons **** ociated with the entire 2024 stretch of the Eras Tour, as calculated by the IB Times.
The plane's activity rose sharply over the spring, going from four flights in March to 19 in April. It also had an average of one flight per day in May. Some of those flights reportedly allowed Swift to appear in Los Angeles and New York within a day of each other.
Critics say the issue goes well beyond one celebrity because private aviation is among the dirtiest forms of travel.

June 22 (Reuters) - Uber Technologies' board was sued on Monday by shareholders who accused management and directors of letting the ride-sharing company cut corners on compliance, leading to thousands of lawsuits from victims of ***** ual assault and harassment.
In a complaint filed in San Francisco federal court, shareholders led by a Detroit pension fund said board members ignored repeated internal and external warnings about Uber's alleged failure to address ***** ual abuse by drivers.
Shareholders said oversight failures were also a factor in two lawsuits last year by the federal government.
One accused Uber of routinely refusing to serve disabled passengers, including people with service animals or stowable wheelchairs. The other alleged deceptive billing and cancellation practices in the Uber One subscription service.

Protests over poor living conditions for detainees at Delaney Hall immigration detention center erupted over the weekend, leading to the arrest of over 80 people, the ****** ociated Press reported on Saturday. Some of the protesters arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are accused of ****** aulting law enforcement officers, obstruction, and threats. But questions remain about whether the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) enforcement policies violate the First Amendment and chill speech on the ongoing public debate over immigration policies.
The crackdown on protesters is not surprising given Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's statements during congressional hearings last week, in which he took a hard line against violent protesters. During a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing on June 3, Mullin testified that he is "OK with protest," so long as it is done "in a peaceful way, in a legal area." However, Mullin ****** erted, he has "zero tolerance" for individuals who "verbally ****** ault our officers," "go after our vehicles," or "assault our property." "You ****** ault one of our officers, we will find you. We will arrest you," he continued.
While Mullin is right that the destruction of government property and ****** aulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers are both federal crimes, there is no such thing as "verbally ****** aulting" an officer under the law, Aaron Terr, the director of public advocacy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), tells Reason.
Under the First Amendment, individuals are free "to criticize, mock, or disparage law enforcement officers" who "have no greater right than anyone else to be shielded from offense or criticism," Terr explains. "In fact, the Supreme Court has recognized that properly trained officers are expected to show even more restraint than the average citizen when confronted with provocative or challenging speech."
"The First Amendment's broad protections are essential to preserving the public's ability to criticize and hold accountable those entrusted with enforcing the law," Terr says, which is why speech is generally protected "unless the speech falls into one of the narrow categories of unprotected expression."
