John Kerry defends private jets because elites are 'working harder' to save the planet
Author: Zachary Faria
John Kerry is President Joe Biden’s “special presidential envoy for climate.” He is also a useful idiot for both the Chinese Communist Party and the climate cult of the elites. Kerry claimed there is no hypocrisy in wealthy elites fearmongering about climate change while continuing to use private jets because “they offset, they buy offsets, they offset. These modern-day indulgences allow them to buy their way out of climate sin, meaning they can do whatever activities that destroy the climate because they can throw enough money into the climate pot to cancel it out. Even if we take for granted that climate offsets work perfectly and aren’t a scam, this private jet apologia ignores a key point. If climate change is such an emergency, why do these elites not simply buy offsets and also not fly their private jets? Ah, because they just work so hard. These elites are “working harder than most people I know,” according to Kerry. How else would we save the planet if these elites were not flying to elitist conferences and lecturing the peasants through a room of fellow elites? As Kerry himself said when defending his private jet flight to accept a climate award, it’s the “only choice for somebody like me.” This is the warped worldview that results from buying into the climate cult. You can contribute to destroying the planet so long as you buy “offsets” so that your quality of life need not change as you zip around the world on your private jet. This same warped worldview leads people to dismiss atrocities in China, as Kerry has, because building solar panels is more important than addressing China’s genocide of the Uyghurs.
