Who is Charles Brosnan? Know about Britain’s most notorious criminal and why he is in prison?

Famous people don’t travel like you and I, they take jets and private flights, sometimes at great expense for incredibly short distances, as evidenced by Kylie Jenner’s 17 minute flight earlier this month.

Celebrities' lax attitude towards the emissions they create and the damage they cause has drawn major flak from across the globe.

Jenner’s 17 minute flight could have been a 40-minute car ride, at just a fraction of the emissions. To compound the situation, Jenner flew into Van Nuys on a 27 minute flight before setting off on the next leg.

Kylie Jenner’s flight is not the shortest flight taken by a celebrity this month, with boxer Floyd Mayweather taking a 10 minute flight in July.

Canadian rapper Drake took an 18 minute flight to Toronto, generating close to five tonnes of CO2 emissions, which is more than the average annual global emissions of one person.

Actor Mark Wahlberg took a 40 minute flight recently, travelling from Las Vegas to Van Nuys and is only one of two people on this list to cross state borders.

The Kardashians are not new to controversy, but Kim Kardashian seems to have avoided flak for her 30 minute flight from San Diego, California to Camarillo, also in California.

A singer-songwriter, Chesney took a 20 minute flight from Akron, Ohio to Pittsburgh. But, he is relatively lower on the emissions scale, having produced a tonne of CO2 due to this travel.

Private planes are responsible for 33 million tonnes of emissions, more than Denmark produces. They are also 50x more polluting than trains and close to 14 times more polluting than passenger planes.
