Maher then tells Tyson that he prefers flying private. He said, “I mean, that’s not Mike. I have not flown commercial, like practically in this century. The second I couldn’t get off. And I used to hide it because I thought oh it makes me look terrible with the environment.”
Further, he also mentions that the younger generation should care more about the planet than he does. Maher states that it’s because they would be the ones inheriting the planet.
However, Maher added that the younger generation does not care about the environment. He further mentioned socialite and reality TV star Kylie Jenner and said, “They don’t, they worship Kylie Jenner, who never does anything but flies on a private plane. So when Kylie gives up the plane, I’ll give up mine.”
