A recent leak of data from the Celebrity Private Jet Tracker revealed the private plane owners responsible for emitting the most harmful carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. President-elect Donald Trump topped the list, releasing a staggering 27,785 metric tons of carbon dioxide from his Boeing 757. Rapper Travis Scott and former Google executive Eric Schmidt were also among the top emitters on the list.
The increasing concern over private jet emissions is highlighted by statistics showing that the 250,000 richest people in the world produced 15.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide last year. However, research into clean fuels, such as hydrogen-powered engines and fuel made from brewery wastewater, is underway to mitigate these harmful emissions.
Commenters questioned the necessity of private jet usage by some celebrities, such as Google executives and entertainers like Travis Scott and Kim Kardashian. The leaked data has sparked discussions regarding the environmental impact of private jet travel and the need for more sustainable alternatives.
