I'm surprised it's so low. She's got two private jets and a job which requires multiple flights a month. Also: >Before the tour kicked off in March of 2023, Taylor purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset all tour travel https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-spent-160-hours-using-private-jet-eras-tour-2023-8 https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-spent-160-hours... Really, I'd be more worried about the total amount of emissions from all the cars/flights from people going to her gigs. That's got to dwarf her own total.

Carbon credits are a scam.

  How? I did a quick lookup and the results points to the otherwise. https://consensus.app/results/?q=Does%20the%20carbon%20credits%20system%20actually%20work%3F&synthesize=on https://consensus.app/results/?q=Does%20the%20carbon%20credi...

    Not sure if this is what GP meant, but one funny thing about carbon credits is that energy producers that produce no emissions but don't do carbon capture (e.g. solar farms) can earn still carbon credits which they can sell to carbon emitters (e.g. steel mills). Zero is not a negative number, so the entire world can one day be "carbon neutral" following this funny accounting and physics won't care.

  They are in many cases. I was trying to show she at least seems to care enough to try to counteract her own impact. That likely means the tried to minimise the number of fights too.
