The worst private jet CO2 emissions so far this year have been compiled by Yard.
Insider has learned that Taylor Swift's jet is often lent out.
The celebrities on the list include Oprah Winfrey.
Private jet use causes carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere which is bad for the climate. Commercial flights produce less emissions than private jets.

While some noted the impact private jets have on the climate, backlash grew when Celebrity Jets accused Jenner of taking a three-minute flight on her private plane, which would have taken 40 minutes. According to Rolling Stone, even though she's not in the top 10, she landed at number 19 with 64 flights that emitted more than a ton of carbon dioxide.
