John Kerry: Climate Agitator

John Kerry leads an international jet-set life that might exhaust a runway model. If President Biden's special envoy for climate was not in Washington or relaxing at his mansion near Nantucket Harbor, he could be found in Brazil, Panama, the Bahamas, Germany, or Iceland. And that's just in February and March. ⁽¹⁾

In his effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions, Kerry has flown hundreds of thousands of miles, sometimes commercially, sometimes on his own private jet. In just nine months last year he logged more than 180,000 miles, emitting some 9.5 million pounds of carbon.

Kerry even took his private jet to Iceland for an environmental award. He defended his high-pollution ride at the time, calling it 'the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle' in an interview obtained by Fox News. The incident had not been previously reported in the American press. (2)
