South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate, said he flies on private jets despite advocating for action on climate change because the U.S. is a "very big country."
CNN's Chris Cuomo told Buttigieg, "Your second-quarter filing says your campaign spent about $300,000 on private flying. You're going to get the finger shaken at you that you should not be doing that if you're going to be the green guy."
"Look, I'm interested in decarbonizing the fuel that goes into air travel. I also don't believe we're going to abolish air travel. This is a big country and while I absolutely think we can do more to provide alternatives, like trains, I don't think that we're going to solve the question on how to get around the world without air travel. This is the sort of thing that I think we need to look at in a commonsense kind of way," Buttigieg said at CNN's climate town hall on Wednesday.
