Spielberg is equally guilty, according to a study by Yard, a sustainable marketing agency that compiles “up-to-date data” on celebrities with “worst private jet CO2 emissions” in 2022.

“The legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg ranks sixth on the list, making 61 flights this year and emitting 4,465 tons of CO2 from his private jet.” However, Spielberg is the second longest average flight time on this list at 107.31 minutes, or about an hour and 47 minutes. “

He added that “everyone should be held accountable” for their role in climate change.

“You know when you don’t remember something that could be dangerous for your children and grandchildren?” said Spielberg.

“Then you live recklessly with aerosol cans and do all sorts of things that deplete the ozone layer.”
