DHS Announces "Equal Access" to Covid Vaccine for Illegal Immigrants
'Somebody Like Me Needs To Fly Private'
John Kerry took a private jet to Iceland in 2019 to receive the Arctic Circle award for climate leadership. He was also just appointed climate czar by Joe Biden.
Kerry said this is “the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle” as he defended his very large carbon footprint mode of travel.
Kerry received the award, which took the form of an iceberg sculpture, for being “a consistent voice pressuring the American authorities to commit to tackle environmental matters,” the outlet noted.
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.
We’re not sure if it sends the right message to have your climate czar flying around the world in a private jet telling other people to lower their carbon footprint while he emits upwards of 40 times as much carbon with his mode of transportation.
Kerry’s family’s private jet spent over 20 hours in the air over the past year which released an estimated 116 metric tons of carbon emissions. If the average passenger vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons a year, how could Kerry possibly offset his carbon footprint?
