President Biden's recently appointed climate czar, John Kerry, took a private jet to Iceland in 2019 to receive the Arctic Circle award for climate leadership, Fox News has learned.
Kerry defended his high-pollution ride at the time, calling it "the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle" in an interview obtained by Fox News. The incident had not been previously reported in the American press.

Icelandic reporter Jóhann Bjarni Kolbeinsson confronted Kerry at the event over his choice of transportation, asking: "I understand that you came here with a private jet. Is that an environmental way to travel?"
Kerry responded by claiming that it was the only way. "If you offset your carbon -- it's the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle," Kerry said.
"I negotiated the Paris Accords for the United States," he added, referring to the multilateral climate agreement signed while he was secretary of state under President Obama.
"I've been involved with this fight for years. I negotiated with [Chinese] President Xi to bring President Xi to the table so we could get Paris. And, I believe, the time it takes me to get somewhere, I can't sail across the ocean. I have to fly, meet with people and get things done," Kerry said, sidestepping the fact that he chose a private jet over a commercial flight.
"But, what I'm doing, almost full time," he continued, "is working to win the battle on climate change, and in the end, if I offset and contribute my life to do this, I'm not going to be put on the defensive."

I detest this elite snob and asshat with every fibre of my being.
He couldn’t use Zoom?
These elitists need to maximize their mobility to make their campaign to destroy the economy work efficiently.
When the average person figures out that this is the plan, they might rebel. I still haven’t figured out how the rank and file socialists like teachers and many civil servants think society will continue to function and pay their salaries after the economy is successfully destroyed.
They don’t seem to realize that the deplorables are the only thing standing between them and their own future insolvency and destruction. They won’t last a year longer than the economy itself, once the government runs out of other peoples’ money and can’t pay the bills.
Some people with measured IQs over 130 are actually functioning as idiots or morons in many areas of life.
“Somebody like me” is another easy of saying “I’m more important than you”
Does Bob Dylan always show when some gives him an award?

You can eat a catered meal on Zoom
The Obama’s have two oceanfront properties.
Biden has an oceanfront home.
So they are worried about sea levels?
Nah. It’s all about lying to obtain control.
Man made crisis to justify the antichrist one world government takeover.
You can’t
No. We’re not all in this together.
Translation: “it’s YOU PEOPLE who are killing the planet with your cars, air conditioners etc, not ME.”
Deep State’s too paranoid to hire for brains.
This is what they get.
FWIW, I don’t think they have a problem with it.
But if they do, there are more useful idiots out there.
They’ll just hire a new one.
How about when he took a government plane to Antarctica in his last days as SoS under OBastard, so that he could claim that he’s been on all 7 continents.
I’d submit that people who think that gender is a state of mind also haven’t completely thought through the economic implications of playing make-believe with the temperature of the planet.
Kerry is a cartoon character.
He should have taken a row boat.
