One of the great benefits of being a politician is the freedom of unbridled hypocrisy.

I want to relate this.

A radical lefty woman was interviewed the other day and asked the same question: how the elite left explain their excessive use of private planes, high energy intensive mansions, several cars, etc..

She loftily and arrogantly educated the reporter and us unwashed: it is not the private citizens that will save the world. Oh no Siree! It is corporations whose cap and trade money is orders of magnitude larger (addition by me) than a meager Al Gore or George Soros would even be able to do.

You see? The affluent left like Hussein or the Clintons are allowed all the careless luxury whereby they add to their "carbon footprint" (another idiotic term) without the slightest concern to man-made global warming. They are exempt. It is the little guy who should pay at the gas station such as Macron envisioned. That is where the money is.

Got it?

Air travel puts more CO2 into the air - true

More CO2 in the air causes global warming - false.
No experiment proves this linkage. There is strong negative evidence such as the failure of millions of radiosonde weather balloons to identify the 'hot-spot' ( an essential outcome of the Greenhouse/CAGW models).

Global warming exists - maybe.
It is likely that temperatures have been increasing (recovering) from after the Little Ice Age (1500 to 1700) and before the industrial revolution started.
Records as well as temperature reconstructions exist. Such records have a N. hemisphere bias, are sparse, and are not or are not correctly adjusted for the urban heat island effect. Worse, well publicized reports used data specifically faked to produce the desired result.

More CO2 is bad -false.
More CO2 is good for plant growth and therefore for all animal life that live from plants - eg humans.
Human exhaled breath has 40,000ppm, experiments have found no proven detriment at 20,000ppm.
The design target for submarines is (?) 20,000ppm, for buildings 1,000ppm.

Too little CO2 is deadly - fact.
At 150ppm and below, all land plants and animals die.
(If you wondered what is behind carbon sequestration).

We are now at about 400 ppm. ppm- parts per million by volume for the above data.

CO2 - Good for Gaia, plants, animals, and even humans.
Vote for more CO2!

Pelosi has always thought of herself as one of the global elite, who in the perfect oligarchy, would help rule the world. She really has no knowledge nor concern really for any climate change. It is a tool to control people, as the UN put it.
Notice they never mention the rold of the sun in climate, likely know nothing about science or the sun. They never mention the experiments with HAARP, now divided between Alask and Pureto Rico, as well as other versions in russia and Europe. Tehy don't want to talk about anything they cannot pretend to control. They know their CO2 story is a scam.

Makes me angry.

Oh, did I say something about CO2. Since I live in an 8,000 square foot home, who am I to make noises about Pelosi's wasting of taxpayers' money! My home also takes up a full city block. Thanks for correcting my ignorance! PS..I drive a great big Ford Explorer!

I categorically reject the idea that we must abandon travel and other aspects of an affluent life. We just need to take responsibility for the mess we make. I am thousands for miles from home at the moment; extremists would say I'm responsible for the world's problems. No. We don't need to live a Wendell Berry, Little-House-on-the-Prairie lifestyle to take responsibility for the damage we do to others' property.
