“Recently, I read, from private flight to commercial flight,” commented Adler.
“No, I didn’t fly private while I was on this job,” Kerry claimed.
“Oh, okay,” Adler replied.
“It’s just a misnomer,” Kerry continued. “I’ve had one, maybe two private flights that were US military flights to China during Covid where we were forced into this.”
“But I fly commercial,” he said.
Not too fast. John Kerry’s family jet emitted more than 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the time the Biden administration took office through July 2022, according to federal data.
“The Kerry family jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, has made a total of 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and has emitted approximately 715,886 pounds, or 325 metric tons, of carbon since President Biden went to be sworn in, according to federal data obtained by Fox News Digital via FlightAware. The plane belongs to Flying Squirrel LLC., a charter company owned by Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry, and in which Kerry reported that he owned a stake of more than $1 million in his most recent financial disclosure,” the report states.
“President Biden appointed Kerry to lead the State Department’s global climate policy outreach shortly after taking office in January 2021,” the report added. “Since then, Kerry has traveled the world to United Nations (UN) climate conferences, meetings with international heads of state and the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.”
The report added that the climate envoy flew to the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Berlin, Germany, which held a UN summit with representatives from 40 countries to negotiate emissions reductions and climate finance for developing countries .
“No,” a spokesman for Kerry said in an email to Fox News Digital when asked if he would travel to Germany on a private jet.
“Secretary Kerry travels commercially or by military air in his role as the President’s special climate envoy,” the spokesman added.
In 2019, Kerry took a private jet to Iceland to receive the Arctic Circle Climate Leadership Award.
Kerry defended his private jet trip as “the only option for someone like me who is traveling the world to win this battle” to prevent climate change.
“If you offset your carbon, it’s the only option for someone like me who’s traveling the world to win this battle,” Kerry said.
Kerry is not the only official in the Biden administration to propose steep cuts to Americans’ emissions to supposedly avert climate disaster without personally taking action on the issue.
On Friday, President Joe Biden toured Canada’s capital, Ottawa, in “The Beast” as part of a 75-car motorcade.
Biden’s motorcade forced road closures and caused massive traffic delays downtown. Later, the president spoke to the Canadian parliament on issues such as “climate change and investing in the clean auto sector.”
