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…

The Eco-left is outraged that tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Google are willing to do business with the oil and gas industry.

But as the Washington Examiner points out, the eco-left is ignoring scientific and free-market advancements in conventional fuels. “Fortunately, an existing solution can already curtail greenhouse gas emissions without destroying the world’s primary reliable means of generating electricity,” the Washington Examiner explains. “A company called NET Power has been testing a…

Billionaire and fledging presidential candidate Tom Steyer has billed himself as an environmentalist, advocating extreme policies that would undermine jobs, raise taxes and decimate America’s energy economy. But a new report is raising questions as to how committed Steyer is to his eco-credentials, and it threatens to tarnish his standing on the eco-left. Bloomberg is reporting that, according to recently disclosed financial documents, Steyer owns a stake in Direct Petroleum Exploration Inc, a “company involved in oil production.” This “could prove troublesome because the former hedge fund manager has put climate change at the center of his campaign and is among the 18…
