(54 posts)But the carbon emissions problem wasn't created by Taylor Swift. It was created by DECADES of collective use of fossil fuel based power by ordinary people. All of us who are on fossil fuel based grids, who utilize fossil fuel based transportation, directly or indirectly, who buy products that consume fossil fuels to produce and those of us who consume livestock as part of our diet, you put a few billion of us together on one planet and have us all doing that everyday, THAT is why we have this problem. Taylor Swift jetting around is a drop of water in a whole ocean full of contributions that created this catastrophe and governments all around the world, bought and paid for by big fossil fuel interests sat on their hands and refused to take action that would mitigate the damage. THAT is where the blame lies. And you're just lying to yourself if you actually believe you haven't participated in that with most of the rest of the planet. Anyone who has embraced the modern world has.
If Taylor Swift never even existed and the US and Canada and a few western allies did everything right for the last 20 years, we'd still have a climate catastrophe on our hands if you don't get India and China and the rest of the world on board. Its called GLOBAL warming for a reason. Taylor Swift not using a jet would never have made an iota of a difference.
You're just nitpicking for anything you can find to hysterically and irrationally criticize a woman you don't like. And I would bet most of us see right through it, which is why you continue to get absolutely nowhere with your arguments.
