It's hard for us peasants to understand, but the climate elite NEED private jets to save us from modernity.
Washington Examiner (8/3/23) reports: "A top Democratic committee backing green energy policies to purportedly combat climate change shelled out tens of thousands of dollars on gas-guzzling private jet travel, campaign finance disclosures show. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which counts Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) as its chairman and works to elect Senate Democrats, has repeatedly touted how liberal lawmakers are working 'to combat climate change,' which the group has dubbed a 'crisis.' These sentiments didn't stop the committee from spending over $59,000 in June with the Virginia-based Advanced Aviation, a charter aircraft company often hired by lawmakers and campaigns, according to Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by the Washington Examiner. The private jet payments appear to run contrary to the DSCC's efforts to push expansive climate plans that experts say significantly harm the fossil fuels industry, which is said to represent about 80% of the world's energy supply. Private jets are five to 14 times more polluting and, on average, 10 times more "carbon-intensive" than commercial flights, while also being 50 times more polluting than trains, according to Transport & Environment, a European energy group. 'They don't practice what they preach,' Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, an environmental and energy advocacy group, told the Washington Examiner. 'It's hypocrisy. It's rules for thee, but not for me. It's all talk and no action with these folks.'"

"Just like during the Covid pandemic, anyone who casts doubt on Net Zero or alarmist claims about the climate will be accused of spreading ‘misinformation’. In the same way that lockdown skeptics were branded ‘Covid deniers’, the phrase ‘climate denier’ is routinely used to shut down discussion. The aim is to make you associate skepticism of the green agenda with Holocaust denial."
