Private Jets Swarm Glasgow for COP26: Emit more CO2 than Scots Churn out in a Year

Just as the private jets of the global elites swarm to Davos, Switzerland, every year for the World Economic Forum, so too are they descending on Glasgow for this week’s COP26 climate conference.

The Sunday Mail reports some 400 private jets are due to disgorge their cargo of world leaders and business executives for the event. In doing so, they will dump thousands of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Joe Biden’s Air Force One, a heavily modified Boeing 747-200, is expected to touch down in Scotland later today after the short hop from Rome – one of two identical aircraft the U.S. president’s entourage uses to travel around the world.

It is not known yet if Biden will again use an approximately 85-vehicle motorcade to carry him around Glasgow for meetings as he did in Rome, as Breitbart News reported.

It will be far from alone on the tarmac.

The French Cotam 001, Canadian Air Force VIP, German Konrad Adenauer, Japanese Air Force One, Air India One, Australia’s Shark One, and Israeli Wing of Zion are among others scheduled to arrive for the meeting.

It was never about climate change, even the idiot libs should know this by now.

Hypocrisy is the foundation of all socialist movements.

I recall John Kerry said something, to the effect, that he has to fly around the world to get things done, because apparently he is so important, he needs to travel. So he’s allowed to have a big carbon footprint? At least allowed to have a big footprint based on the idea that he’s so important he’s exempt from the regulations he and his ilk would impose on the rest of us.

Greta is supposed to be there. Is she going to sail to Scotland on a carbon free yacht, as she once sailed to America on what was alleged to be a carbon neutral craft of some sort?

It’s all about the parties they have, the rich elites hobnob with each other, tell each other how great they are, eat the finest food flown in from all over the world, create massive pollution and then fly home.

They are trying to cause as much pollution as possible to justify their climate change agenda!

Comrades! Please do not think for a moment that Dear Leader Brandon enjoys flying in Air Force One. In fact flying around the world makes him physically ill. The effects on his health are easily seen. Sometimes he becomes frozen in place with his fists clenched, sometimes he suffers embarrassing incontinence. Please know that he is willing to make this sacrifice for you. This shows what a Great Leader he is.

Certainly as a good citizen you will gladly give up the use of your car (take a bus!) and give up the idea of keeping your home warm this winter (wear a sweater!)

I’m thinking they’ll figuratively give themselves fat carbon credits for every one of us they manage to knock off through the pandemics, jabs, and the like.

And then hitched a ride home on some CO2 spewing conveyance?

They will be debating the new slogan to roll out all over the world:

“We pollute, you salute!”

The energy signature of a yacht has to include energy used to create vessel, maintain it and an assessment of how few people use it ... I'm guessing it would have been more 'energy neutral if she had flown a commercial jet and sat in the back with families with crying babies.

Climate change isn’t any more about saving the planet than CoupFlu is about public health.

Apparently Greta took a train from London to Glasgow - but the media here seems silent on how she got to London in the first place.

Today’s social movements are confined to Biden’s poopy pants.

Obama and Biden both purchased oceanfront properties in the last few years. Tells you all you need to know about the “rising sea levels.”

Gosh, it makes me proud to think that all those gigantic intellects are flying private jets, riding limos, sipping champagne, and eating meals that cost a month’s salary for the working stiff, all to tell me I’m consuming too much of the Erf’s resources. Shame on me, I guess.
