Climate Hypocrisy [semi-satire]

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry objected to Rep. Cory Mills' (R-Fla) contention that "his 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and emitting an estimated 325 metric tons of carbon since President Biden was sworn into office seemed to contradict his mission to impose regulations requiring the reduction of carbon emissions by everyone else."

In his response to Mills, Kerry insisted "I don't own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet. Considering the importance of my mission, it's stupid to complain about how I get to the meetings that are essential to saving the planet from global warming."

"Whether you traveled in your own private jet or someone else's private jet isn't a crucial distinction," Mills pointed out. "The fact is that if you had traveled to these meetings using readily available commercial air and surface transportation services you would've made a minuscule contribution to the carbon emissions you say are destroying the climate."

"Yes," Kerry admitted, "but I would've consumed a more valuable resource--a few extra hours of my limited time on Earth waiting in airport terminals for connecting flights, waiting to retrieve checked baggage, and waiting for others to board and find their seats on each leg of my journey."

Kerry wasn't the only climate alarmist to display hypocrisy on the way to a climate meeting. Spain's Ecological Transition Minister Teresa Ribera had herself videoed riding a bike to a climate summit on how to utilize bicycle policy to reduce carbon emissions. The problem is, the bicycle wasn't deployed until she was within 100 meters of the meeting. Even then, two motorized vehicles escorted the pedaling minister during that 100 meter span. This completely erased the trivial reduction in emissions that she otherwise might have achieved.

Ribera rejected the mockery of her stunt, saying that "I was merely demonstrating how people with less important jobs and responsibilities could contribute to reducing carbon emissions. It is unreasonable to expect a high-ranking member of the government like myself to waste my time traveling by such a time-consuming mode of transportation as a bicycle or bus."

In related news, Kerry apologized to Chinese President Xi Jinping for President Biden calling him a dictator, saying that "he's no more of a dictator than President Biden is. Both have had to take forceful actions. To battle the coronavirus both had to lock down businesses, confine people to their homes, and force them to get vaccinated. To tamp down attacks on democracy both had to censor the information people were able to receive and the comments they were allowed to make."

“Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry”

So does this POS who when he flies always flies around in a private jet that nobody owns expect us to believe he has talked the Chinese into “saving the planet” by reducing their CO2 emissions by closing even one of their coal fired power plants. Come on John ... you can’t be that stupid ... Oh but he can be.

Private jets are almost always leased, for tax reasons. So technically he doesn't own his jet, but it's distinction without a difference.
