This is a silly little video talking about why Taylor Swift using her private jet isn’t the end of the world, but the fact that we’re talking about it is a little worrying. Our individual actions on climate are not meaningful, but the system they take place in is – and that’s what we should be discussing. The fact that we think of our carbon footprints has a quite interesting history that makes me break out the tin foil.
