A private jet that belongs to Steven Spielberg has burned through more than $116,000 worth of jet fuel since June despite the Hollywood director claiming that he's 'terrified of climate change.'
The Gulfstream G650 jet has clocked 16 trips spanning 17,000 miles since June 23, according to flight tracking data from ADS-B Exchange that was compiled by and reported by this week.
Spielberg has previously spoken out about his fear of global warming, calling for 'everyone' to be mindful that it could 'pose a danger to your children and grandchildren.'
'I'm terrified of [global warming],' Spielberg said in a 2018 interview for his film 'Ready Player One.' 'Global warming is a scientific reality. It's not a political trick. It's a true piece of real, measurable, quantifiable science.
Spielberg is not the only celebrity who has spoken out against global warming while continuing to jet off across the world.
Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift and Mark Wahlberg have all faced backlash in recent months for their frequent short flights on multi-million dollar jets.
Celeb Jets chronicled the journeys of celebrities over the last few months, with many trips lasting less than 30 minutes from lift off to landing.
It comes after the social media page outed Kylie Jenner for a 12-minute flight across California, which saw her branded a 'climate criminal' by furious eco-warriors.

Speaking about his movie Ready Player One in 2018, Spielberg said: 'I'm terrified of global warming. Global warming is a scientific reality it's not a political trick, it's a true piece of real measurable quantifiable since.
'And people have to come around to believing that were are going to have a confrontation with destiny unless we do something about it today.
'I think we have to blame everybody that is just, when you are not mindful of something that could pose a danger to your children and grandchildren.
'Then you just go blithely through life with aerosol cans and doing all sorts of things that are depleting the ozone.'
But this hasn't stopped the director from taking his $70million Gulfstream G650 jet on frequent trips - some only lasting 17 minutes, like the flight he took on June 29 - a 28-mile trip from Amsterdam Airport to Rotterdam Airport that would have taken him just 36 minutes by car, or an hour by public transport.
