It would be enormously easier to track Taylor Swift on a random flight in business class, because the moment people saw her on their random flight in business class it would turn into a social media frenzy.

As a non American, I wouldn’t care actually. You guys need to chillax with your celebrity fetishisation

Lol, you think only Americans worship celebrities? You need to travel more lol - shit is an issue everywhere, you ever seen a k-pop idol?

Some humans just fall for that shit for whatever reason.

yeah but Americans do that, too.

As an American, I can honestly say the only three times I've met a celebrity, once I didn't even recognize her (still don't remember her name, she had appearances on crime shows) , once I didn't care to acknowledge their presence (Kevin sorbo) , and once I literally just said "Hey do you and Alan Tudyk ever hang out since firefly? I love that show" to Nathan Fillion. Yes, they do things together sometimes.

Om not even American and have only spent a few months there, it even I've met more than 3 celebrities in America. That's an oddlyow number. I mean, just the other day in Sydney, Rachel Griffiths was in myocal café here in Sydney. I believe sheives locally, so it's not odd but celebrities are everywhere. She wants bothered by anyone. Taylor would be. I'm not a fan, but I can understand why she'd fly privately. I hope she offsets the emissions, but even the small effort she has done to improve youth voting would offset those emissions.

3 months is more than enough to give you the virus of shit.

Hey just because he ignored me and I had to follow him for weeks to get an answer, doesn't make me a stalker!

So...a bunch of idiots end up on the no-fly list? I don't see a down side. I mean, I could see it being stressful for poor tay-tay, but nothing her money can't pay for in therapy.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
