A new study by Swedish researchers from Lund University found that some wealthy people and celebrities are responsible for a thousand times more CO2 emissions than the average person. Researchers reviewed the social media accounts of well-known celebrities and wealthy philanthropists, and estimated the CO2 emissions by calculating the starting point and destination for flights. Summit News reports: Climate activist Bill Gates was responsible for approximately 1,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide, while flights used by Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez emitted 1,260 tonnes and 1,050 tonnes respectively. These figures compare to a global average of 100 kilos per person per year…
