The Real Environmental Hypocrites!
Is Your Favorite Celebrity on the List?
Data & List Rank from ChatGPT
This book details the Ten Biggest Environmental Hypocrites! These stars talk about their incredible efforts on
behalf of the environment while running their sprinklers excessively during a drought.[1] I hope your favorite
star is not on the list!
Why include this list of hypocrites? Keep this one stat in mind, as it summarizes the hypocrisy argument, “the
richest 1% of humanity is responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66% …. enough to
cause more than a million excess deaths due to heat.”[2] And who does the most bitching? The rich complain
about the poor and worry about the consequences of the poor getting air conditioning. Environmental concerns
are very much a first world problem. Said again because it is so important, “The top 1% of emitters globally
each had carbon footprints … more than 1,000 times greater than those of the bottom 1% of emitters.”[3]
These hypocrites deserve to be singled out.

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, actor Kevin Hart, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Sylvester Stallone (not
you Rocky!) all exceeded their monthly water allotments and received huge fines.

Taylor Swift has been frequently criticized for her carbon footprint. Her frequent private jet flights caused a study from UK marketing agency Yard to claim she was the #1 celebrity CO2 polluter in 2022, with emissions claimed to be 1,100 times the amount of the average person.
Taylor Swift
Deserving a Spot on the List?
Ms. Swift has been criticized for years for her private jet
usage. She has been known to fly cross country for
a football game. But does that qualify her for the list?
Jeff Bezos
Deserving a Spot on the List?
Amazon receives bad karma for the damn boxes! So many boxes!
And he has multiple planes and many houses.
Jeff Bezos hosted his wedding off the $500 million Koru superyacht. It emits an astounding 1,500 times more greenhouse gases than an Amazon customer. But it gets worse! Jeff!! The Koru has a support yacht, Abeona, that travels with it to provide it with tenders, speedboats, a submarine, and of course, a helicopter.
Bill Gates said, “I am not part of the problem!” He even got mad, visibly irritated, when a reporter had the audacity to bring up private jet flights in an interview. He owns only four business jets. Bill, the author of a book called “How to Avoid Climate Disaster,” took 392 flights on private jets in the last year, an average of more than one per day. And, he still had the cojones to say, “I am not part of the problem.” Wow! That is bold!
Bill Gates
Deserving a Spot on the List?
Gates’ Cascade Investment LLC agreed to team up with
Blackstone Group in a $4.7 billion deal to nearly double their
ownership in the largest private jet company in the World.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Deserving a Spot on the List?
In 2019, Harry announced that he was launching a travel company, called Travalyst,
“to mobilize the travel industry as a catalyst for good, aiming to transform the future
of travel for everyone.” The goal was to put more of the tourist money spent in
emerging economies back into the local community. Currently, only five percent
of tourist money does.
Much of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's environmental effort seems very performative. For their wedding, an Instagram post highlighting that their wedding flowers were “sustainable” pollinators that promote healthy bee populations.
Remember “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”? President Obama has two vacation homes, both about three feet above sea-level. He has a Martha's Vineyard mansion that Homes and Gardens magazine says, “stands out as one of the most impressive properties we’ve ever seen.” The house is oceanfront at about three feet above sea-level. He also bought the Magnum P.I. “Robin’s Nest” house from the 1980’s Tom Selleck TV show.
Barak Obama
Deserving a Spot on the List?
The Obamas hypocritically fought the State of Hawaii to retain
a beach destroying wall. Their house is just feet above sea
level. If he truly believes in the oceans rising, would he invest tens
of millions in areas soon to be flooded?

When creating this list, we wanted the best source available, something easily defended. ChatGPT was the obvious choice. We asked ChatGPT to rank the celebrities from loudest to quietest. We took the list and put it back into ChatGPT with this request…. “Rank these people from zero to lots in terms who does the most to help the environment, with giving a speech counting for nothing." That give us the final list. If you disagree with the list, argue with ChatGPT, not us!
