why are sm entertainment's 2024 world tour carbon footprints ignored in climate reports

so i saw the latest hype about the next-gen k‑pop "neon wave" tour (aka sm 2024 global launch) apparently they're bragging about 25,000 seats, 18 city stops, and some fancy "eco‑stage" that recycles plastic newsflash: the jet charter fleet they use burns like 12,000 t CO2eq per leg that's more than a small European country's annual emissions

  • each arena gets a custom LED wall (model xb-3400) that sucks 2‑3 MW per night - fans are told to "offset your tickets" but the official offsets are the same cheap reforestation projects sm used in 2019 - the so‑called "green backstage" is basically a bamboo mat on a concrete floor – zero impact i get that music industry loves buzzwords, but when the climate community pretends this is "sustainable entertainment" we're just buying tickets to a carbon‑vomit show the real issue: no one holding sm accountable in any climate accounting framework why is the climate discourse so comfy ignoring pop culture megaprojects?

anyone else rolling their eyes at the "green" press releases or am i the only one who sees the sm tour as a climate PR stunt?
