Clinton Campaign Never Bought ‘Carbon Offsets’ To Atone For Hillary’s Private Jet Rides
Climate Change Dispatch ^ | Michael Bastasch

ormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seems to have broken her promise to run a carbon neutral campaign by purchasing credits to offset all the carbon dioxide emitted from her private jet travel.

The Clinton campaign promised nearly two years ago to go carbon neutral after the former top diplomat was caught flying a private jet the same day she gave a speech on the dangers of man-made global warming.

That promise remains unkept, a Daily Caller News Foundation review of federal election filings found.

Clinton aides said “offsetting our carbon footprint is still an important goal for this campaign,” but media reports from late 2015 and early 2016 found the Clinton campaign had not offset their carbon dioxide emissions.

Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign bought carbon offsets from Native Energy, but the company said Clinton did not buy any offsets from them during the 2016 campaign.

“The Clinton 2016 campaign did not purchase offsets from us,” Native Energy spokesman Tom Stoddard told TheDCNF.

The Clinton campaign, however, did manage to spend more than $900,000 with the private jet chartering company Executive Fliteways in 2015. About $560,000 of that private jet spending came after Clinton pledged to buy carbon offsets.

Clinton’s campaign spent more than $266,000 with Executive Fliteways in 2016, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

The campaign promised to offset their emissions after The Daily Mail obtained video of Clinton boarding a private jet just hours after announcing her plans to tackle global warming and cut U.S. carbon dioxide emissions.

[I guess the scammers won’t get scammed by other scammers if they know it is a scam.....]

Exactly.

Except for the Obama scam. After Bill Clinton said Barack should be getting them coffee, the Clintons figured they could cash in. And they did.

Ya gotta admit, the Clintons run a pretty good scam.

Been selling this snake oil to liberals for a long time.

A bunch of them still believe in them, too.

Not approving. Just saying they know how gullible their followers are.

No. She must be pursued, tried and punished for her many, many crimes. To do otherwise is to egg-on other sociopathic criminals just like her. I’d love to see her convicted and imprisoned for the rest of her worthless, malignant life.

A carbon offset? Is that like a bitcoin? Why would anybody buy an offset of an element?


Nah, not bitcoin.

It's like going on a diet, but eating exactly the same food and paying someone else to eat less....:^)
