Data compiled by the flight tracking firm FlightAware and obtained by Fox News show that John Kerry's family Gulfstream GIV-SP spent around 22 hours and 22 minutes in the air over the past year.
Using Paramount Business Jets emissions calculator, Fox News found that Kerry's planed accumulated an estimated 116 metric tons of carbon between trips dating from Feb. 9, 2020, to Jan. 10, 2021.
For comparison, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. That calculation assumed a car that drives around 11,500 miles per year with a fuel economy of about 22.0 miles per gallon.

Private jets have been estimated to emit upward of 40 times as much carbon per passenger as commercial flights.

Give that man a shovel and two tow sacks full of apple seeds; and tell him not to show his face in polite company until they’ve all sprouted.
Spewing that garbage while jetting around on private jets and living in gigantic structures that are 200+ years old which no doubt costs a bloody fortune to heat with the nasty fossil fuels.
Let them eat cake right?
I thought that was just John blowing smoke again.
Rules for thee but not for me.
All liberals are.
Hypocrite and traitor. After stabbing Vietnam vets in the back, he then went on to finance terror via Iran. How many of our troops in Iraq were killed by weapons from Iran financed by the fake Irishman Kerry?
Doesn’t he dock his yacht in another state to avoid Mass tax? Seems I read that somewhere.
pity Lomborg still goes along with the gloBULL warming hoax (Alan Jones is more sceptical). however, this is well worth watching - lots of detail:
VIDEO: 11min:2 Feb: Sky News Australia: Alan Jones: Joe Biden’s climate plan will do ‘virtually nothing’: Bjorn Lomborg
The way world leaders are attempting to tackle climate change is incredibly expensive and will do “very little” to solve the problem, according to environmental author Bjorn Lomborg.
In an exclusive interview with Sky News, Mr Lomborg criticised the expensive approach championed by major world leaders, in particular US President Joe Biden.
Mr Biden has proposed spending in excess of $500 billion dollars each year to combat climate change, which Lomborg points out is the equivalent of $1500 per citizen every year which will “do virtually nothing”...
Many nations across the world are committing to net-zero emissions by 2050 without any sufficient costings on the target.
New Zealand though completed an independent study on the price of such a target and it found the policy would cost around 16 per cent of GDP which would equate to be $240 billion in an Australian context. Mr Lomborg said spending $240 billion every year until 2050 is “unconscionable” and very hard to imagine people will support it.
“If you actually want to fix climate change, you’re not going to do this by these incredibly expensive policies because you’re going to run out of money and willingness to pay.”

Thanx for the info. Recently watched a video with Kerry speaking about pollutants. He said even if USA eminents were down to zero. China and India will still create massive air pollution problems. The wasted money to be spent on ‘cleaning up’ the environment could be spent here on our poor who really need it. Thanks to Biden’s stupid job cuts.
It’s OK, though. He had some peasant plant a couple trees to “offset” the emissions.
Let them eat carbon credits.
If my calculations are correct, John Kerry generated a greater carbon footprint than the entirety of last year’s cow flatulence.
