Netizens slam Steven Spielberg over his private jet usage Considering that the director has previously expressed his concern about global warming, a slew of tweets have criticized this report of Spielberg's high CO2 emission from his private jet. According to the DailyMail, in a 2018 interview during the promotion of Ready Player One, Spielberg said: "I'm terrified of global warming. Global warming is a scientific reality it's not a political trick, it's a true piece of real measurable quantifiable since. And people have to come around to believing that were are going to have a confrontation with destiny unless we do something about it today. I think we have to blame everybody that is just, when you are not mindful of something that could pose a danger to your children and grandchildren. Then you just go blithely through life with aerosol cans and doing all sorts of things that are depleting the ozone."

Yard s claims of CO2 emissions by Steven Spielberg s flight According to the compilation of celebrities' CO2 emissions from private jet usage by digital marketing agency Yard, Steven Spielberg ranked sixth out of a list of ten celebs. The iconic filmmaker even ranked higher than Kim Kardashian, who has also been heavily criticized over her use of private jets. The study reported his "jet taking 61 flights this year and emitting 4,465 tonnes of CO2 – 637.9 times more than the average person's annual emissions." It must be noted that the abovementioned data compiled by Yard had also been sourced from ADS-B Exchange and included the flight data from January 1 to July 20, 2022. They further revealed that the average flight time of the Jurassic Park director was around an hour and 47 minutes, which is just over 107 minutes. However, the shortest recorded flight in that period was 18 minutes, which was from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. However, this might have been a flight to transport the aircraft to a different hangar or a possible maintenance flight.
