The Left hopes that you won’t notice their hysteria over the climate scam is somewhat mitigated by their continued use of private jets. They want it to fall down the Orwellian memory hole. Not quite.
FNC: “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spent over $500,000 on private jets since 2020 despite repeatedly describing climate change as an ‘existential’ threat the U.S. has a ‘moral’ obligation to address.
According to campaign filings with the Federal Election Commission, Pelosi’s campaign paid a Virginia-based private aviation provider, Advanced Aviation Team, over $437,000 between October 2020 and December 2021 and over $65,000 to Clay Lacy Aviation, a California-based private jet provider. Private jets are notoriously bad for the environment, producing significantly more emissions per passenger than commercial flights. Pelosi’s campaign spent $67,605 on private air travel just months before she said she viewed tackling the climate crisis as a ‘religious thing.’ ”
“For me, it’s a religious thing,” she said in November after leading a delegation to a useless United Nations Climate Change Conference. “I believe this is God’s creation, and we have a moral obligation to be good stewards.” Who knew she believed in God?
Nancy Pelosi has spent more than $500,000 on private jets since 2020.
Remember this when she demands the average American give up their gas-powered car.

In fact, Pelosi’s private jets produce way more carbon dioxide than commercial flights per passenger, according to a June 2021 report by a European publication, Transport & Environment.
“Flying on a private jet is probably the worst thing you can do for the environment,” T&E aviation director Andrew Murphy. “And yet, super-rich super polluters are flying around like there’s no climate crisis.” Bingo. The Left and their Hollywood subdivision spout off on the climate change scam while, like with mask mandates, ignoring their own rules.
In 2019, former Climate Czar John Kerry flew to Iceland by private jet to pick up a climate change leadership award. Read that again. It’s like throwing a boozy melee to celebrate 10 years at Alcoholics Anonymous. But Kerry had an excuse.
“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 in an interview. Ah, people like him. Well, that explains it. He’s a superhero, so he gets a jet. The rest of us are evil if we drive to the grocery. That totally makes sense, to John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi.

Does Queen Nancy still fly on taxpayer owned 757s as Speaker of the House. In the past she didn’t want to use a more economical, environmentally responsible aircraft because it wouldn’t be able to fly her non-stop from DC to San Fran? So yes the hypocrisy is deep! Frankly I thought her broom would be total emissions free but who knows.
Of course liberals are all hypocrites when it comes to climate change. They’re hypocrites about everything else so why should that be an exception?
Nothing about Pelosi is palatable at this point. she has been one of the worst catastrophes imposed on the whole country by ill-informed Californians who apparently don’t have a problem with all of the corruption her son is up to as well. How sick is this family? How sick is SF for allowing it?
Queen Nancy a hypocrite, say it ain’t so. Just because Martha Stewart got 18 months for a $100K deal Nancy shouldn’t be expected to follow those rules and so what’s $5.5 million in Hubby’s account.
TOTAL P>O>S> And we wonder why the USA is declining.
What else is new except the media is covering it up more. “Look over here!” instead of looking over there at the politicians hypocrisy.
They’re hypocrites regarding cattle too. Check out Celine.com
They don’t want to raise cattle to feed people but they’re raising them to sell high-end leather goods. They’re always complaining about cow farts when it comes to our food supply but it’s ok to raise beef cattle to make leather purses, calve-skin boots and stuff. Definitely a bunch of hypocrites!! Don’t let them fool you regarding climate change.
Didn’t need to add the “ON CLIMATE!!” Could have just ended your statement with the word hypocrites!
There are two “civilized” ways to travel – by ship and by train. Nancy – Next time – TAKE THE TRAIN.
