Pop star Taylor Swift’s environmental hypocrisy has come under scrutiny, as the pop star has flown around the world in private jets while advocating for climate change action.
The behavior has been criticized by environmental activists and experts who urged her to lead by example.
Physicist Steven Koonin challenged the narrative of climate change as an imminent threat, stating that it is a political movement.

He argued that human influence is not solely responsible for natural disasters, contradicting the fearmongering promoted by Democrats and the media.
“[S]he should adopt and flaunt a carbon-frugal lifestyle,” University of Washington professors Nives Dolsak and Aseem Prakash said.
“This sort of climate messaging will be particularly appealing to the young generation, Swift’s key constituency, who tends to blame climate problems on the older generation, while not realizing that some of their own consumption habits, or of the celebrities they endorse, support high carbon footprint choices.”
“[Climate change] is a fiction of the media and the politicians who like to promote that notion,” Koonin said.
“The warmest temperatures have not gone up in the last 60 years,” he said.
“I don’t think the science says what … Secretary Pete thinks it says,” Koonin said. “In fact, I can guarantee you he’s never read the science.”
“Fact, I can guarantee you that Sen. [Bernie] Sanders, President [Joe] Biden, Ambassador Kerry, [Energy] Secretary [Jennifer] Granholm have never read the science — because you need to be a scientist in order to do that. And in fact, when you read it, there’s very little in terms of extreme weather that has changed over the last many decades.”
Environmental expert Patrick Moore also dismissed the idea of a climate emergency as pseudoscientific propaganda.
“It is clear that the highly exaggerated claims … are not so much out of concern for endangered species as they are a front for a radical political, social and economic ‘transformation’ of our entire civilization,” Moore said.

Fear-mongering about 2C increase in temperature is a joke. The Earth has been in the Pleistocene Ice Age for 2.6M yrs. Even this interglacial period is colder than Earth’s climate was for more than 200M yrs before this Ice Age began. Here’s the past 65M yrs of global ocean temp. https://t.co/Nl4A7lU1Iz pic.twitter.com/WeEQgkh4pP
