As I noted in my posts covering the United Nations climate conference in Dubai this year, climate realists are beginning to infiltrate the summits and challenge the climate pseudoscience narratives directly with the elite bureaucrats.
White House Climate Czar John Kerry has been enjoying the gourmet food and other perks associated with the World Economic Forum’s annual meetings for years. While he has been challenged on his private jet use before, he was directly called out on his carbon footprint at Davos.
President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, gave a fiery response after he was confronted Tuesday by a reporter in Switzerland who asked about his carbon footprint.”What’s the carbon footprint of these events every single year that you come here? Do you think it’s worth it — peasants paying for your crimes?” Avi Yemini, an Australian reporter with independent outlet Rebel News, asked Kerry who was walking on a street in Davos, Switzerland.”That’s a stupid question,” Kerry responded.”Nobody ever suggested that. Don’t make up stupid questions,” he said when asked a follow-up question about why his carbon footprint didn’t matter.
One woman who was accompanying Kerry as he strolled through the Swiss resort town grabbed the Australian reporter.
“You can’t grab me. You can’t grab us,” the reporter said. “This is a free society, mate. We have freedom of the press.”Undeterred, the reporter pushed on and asked Kerry where his true priorities lie.“Why do you think you’re more important,” he asked Kerry. “Your carbon footprint doesn’t matter but everybody else around the world….”“Just stay back,” Kerry answered. “Nobody ever suggested that. Don’t make up stupid questions.”The fact that Kerry traveled to Davos for the WEF and has done so for years is what “suggests that,” the reporter said.The woman who had grabbed him earlier returned and instructed him to stop again, and he once again asked her to stop touching him.
Interestingly, it turns out Big Government has no interest in the carbon footprint of any of the politically connected. This report about the US State Department not bothering to calculate carbon emissions despite an order to do so was published this summer.
The State Department didn’t keep tabs on the carbon pollution associated with flying hundreds of federal officials to the last two global climate summits, the Government Accountability Office said in a report made public Thursday.Failing to do so ran afoul of a 2021 executive order by President Joe Biden that directed agencies to track the greenhouse gas emissions their operations produce, including official air travel, GAO said.The report was requested by Senate Environment and Public Works Committee ranking member Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who have all criticized the administration’s climate policies.“Americans are tired of bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. who don’t practice what they preach when it comes to protecting the environment,” Capito said in an email to POLITICO’s E&E News.
It will be interesting to see how many other challengers Kerry and the rest of the billionaire class at Davos experience in this year’s session.
In his speech at Davos, Kerry indicates he is clearly worried about the climate scam being dismantled if former President Donald Trump gets reelected. He assures everyone that “the marketplace” has been so saturated with climate nonsense that Trump won’t be able to hit the reverse button.
However, as the dominoes of green energy continue to fall and people begin experiencing the realities of unreliable, inefficient, and untested technologies, the marketplace is already reversing course.
