Are Celebrity Jets Really Causing Global Warming?

This week, there's been a lot of talk about celebrities and their private jets.

Taylor Swift has been accused of being the worst celebrity contributor to climate change, after data revealed her private jet has taken to the skies 170 times in the first 200 days of 2022. Her plane has emitted more than 8000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide.

But, are celebrities and their private jets really to blame for climate change?

In today's episode of The Quicky, we speak to Tim Baxter from The Climate Council about whether changing celeb behaviour can help change the environment.
