I still don’t understand what she allegedly does to provide significant harm to the climate.

Key word, significant. Every person in this discussion charged their phone this morning from energy that was not 100% renewable.

While I catch your meaning, cell phones aren't the best choice for that comparison, they don't use much electricity amazingly. Average phone may only take 4 kwh a year to charge. Where I live that would cost less than $1. While my electric bill is around $150, mostly do to air conditioning.

Mostly, the private jet. Idk if she has yachts or mansion(s) but those would also count. It's not that ordinary people don't pollute but the scale. The top 50 billionaires each on average pollute more every 1.5hours than an ordinary person does their entire life.

Approximately, 5840 peoples worth a year and they have the wealth to choose otherwise. People charge their phone largely because they have to to stay employed/connected nowadays.

When people have hoarded so much and actively make the world worse instead of better theres no option but to question their morality.
