Man, do carbon credits work?

brbposting,

Very murky. Problems with even the best carbon credit companies.

Carbon recapture seems promising.

Duamerthrax,

That’s called planting trees. We need a huge reforestation effort to go along with eliminating co2 emissions.

31337,

In my area, drought and heat have been so bad the last few years, a lot of native trees are dying. You could try reforesting with trees native to a dryer, nearby area, but that’s generally thought of as bad practice, and there’s no guarantee they would do well in that particular soil. It seems like the climate in my area is changing to be incapable of supporting forests.

Duamerthrax,

Luckily, we live in a global biosphere.

Carbon capture is promising only when we no longer rely on fossil fuels for energy generation.

hannes3120,

Interesting how it worked before the whole shitstorm with all the memes started.

I wonder if those were not really about her flying but somehow related to her speaking out against trump and that was just the angle of the smear campaign to make her less credible for left people…

Those carbon credits won’t do shit to save the planet, but at least flying less is a step in the right direction

Fedizen,

as much as I hate billionaires, it is kinda sus how disproportionately online goobers seem to hate swift. Its even worse when you consider she’s probably the only billionaire that works for a living

aStonedSanta,

And isn’t most of her plane pollution due to renting it? I mean still her fault but not uh physically?

Yup. Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, and Steven Spielberg have private jets too. Many more lease them.

Sure let’s talk about how it’s not cool to use a private jet, but maybe let’s not be hyper fixated on a woman that owns a private jet. Kinda makes it very suspicious that people actually just have an issue with a woman being successful.

AngryCommieKender,

None of them sent a cease and desist to a 19 year old kid, because he was broadcasting publicly available data about their private jets. Taylor and Elon did.

Perfide,

Just in the last week or so Swift sent a cease and desist to the kid tracking her and other celebrities jets, aka already publicly available information. Just like when Elon tried to stop him, by trying to stop him she has Streisand effected the situation.

If and when Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, or Steven Spielberg send their own cease and desist, then we can start making jet memes about them, too. Until then, they’ve got other shitty things we can bring up. Cruise is a cultist, Jim Carrey is/was an anti-vaxxer, and Spielberg… actually, I can’t think of anything else for him, let the Spielberg jet memes commence I guess.

OrnateLuna,

Even billionaires can’t escape sexism

AVincentInSpace,

Please don’t bring misogyny into this

We shame her because unlike all the other billionaires, she actually cares about her image, and shaming her actually works

BarrelAgedBoredom,

She recently tried to sue someone for tracking her jet, that’s why she’s catching a lot of heat right now. It isn’t sus, its the same reaction musk got when he tried to do the same thing to the same person in 2022/23

Napain,

they only meme on her because she might prevent trump

TTimo,

Hateing

Elon Musk is invulnerable to cricitism because he cares about nothing and listens to nothing.

Taylor Swift can have her mind changed, it has already happened in the past, and she cares about her image. Criticism of her has a chance to land.

Also, it has nothing to do with the teenage girls. We hate the jet. The jet isn’t even in the top 10 of things we hate about Elon.

The idea we don’t hate on Musk is genuinely insane. His hate subreddit even got brought over (!enoughmuskspam).

You could’ve chosen literally any other billionaire and you would’ve had a point.

gmtom, (edited )

Literally all of this started with people hating Elon Musk. It’s only focused on her now because she is currently harassing the guy tracking her jet.

If you went back a year or so ago, when Elon was the focus of this instead of her, would you be complaining about how a man is getting more flak than a woman?

perspectiveshifting,

‘Hateing’ this post for that horrific spelling

@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

I hate her for using Ticketmaster. We’re not the same.

LSDpoem,

Can’t I be upset with both of them for different reasons

don,

mf no. no u cannot. Pick one.

tkk13909,

What if I hate both?

don,

You… you cant… you just can’t do that.

KeefChief13,

It’s more about usage rate than quantity. Although I could not tell you the usage rate details for either person…

UraniumBlazer,

All billionaires are bad.

Thcdenton,

They both billionares. Feed them to the orphan crushing machine.

Porque lo nos dos?

On a more serious note, this is actually a perfect demonstration of why intersectionality is vital, and how classism and sexism intersect - this isn't, and shouldn't be reduced to "either/or", we can hate and fight against billionaires for being exploitative oppressive capitalists, and misogynists who only hate Swift for being a woman singing for other women..
