The jet belonging to climate czar John Kerry's family made its way to Idaho, where he and his wife have reportedly vacationed, as he traveled in Asia to promote the Biden administration's message on the issue.
Flight records show that the jet left Boston late afternoon and landed in Hailey, Idaho, later that evening. It's unclear what the trip was for but the Idaho Press reported last year that he and his wife, Teresa, have been part-time residents in the nearby Sun Valley for decades.
According to the State Department, the former secretary of state is currently on a trip through Asia that's set to end on Friday. The trip, which started April 1, extends from Abu Dhabi to Dhaka and is intended "for consultations on increasing climate ambition" ahead of a climate summit hosted by President Biden.
In the past, Kerry has encountered scrutiny over use of his family jet while speaking out against climate change. Most notably, when Kerry took his jet to receive a climate award in Iceland, he called it "the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle."
**SNIP**
It's unclear how Kerry has been offsetting his carbon output, as he claimed in 2019, but flight logs indicated that his family's private jet spent over 20 hours in the air from February of last year to January -- culminating in an estimated 116 metric tons of carbon emissions.

The ramp at Hailey is millionaires row (I guess billionaires now)!
Hailey is right next to Sun Valley. It is about the only place in Idaho that votes reliably democrat. The people there are disgusting.

When he was on a supposed “climate change trip” to Antarctica in December 2016, John Kerry was actually on a whirlwing trip to New Zealand, etc., to try and manipulate the vote at the UN against Israel.
Whatever he’s doing not probably has more to do with Iran than climate.
