|    Steven Spielberg's Climate Change Hypocr    |

      XPost: talk.politics.guns, sci.environment, ca.environment       XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.politics.republicans, sac.politics       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://boundingintocomics.com/2022/08/24/steven-spielbergs-climate-       change-hypocrisy-showcased-in-private-jet-fuel-costs/              Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, who once revitalized the film       industry by giving birth to the summer tentpole blockbuster phenomenon,       has forever been an ardent climate change activist. However, like many       Left-wing cultural figures in America these days, that activism is running       headfirst into some dicey territory.              A New York Post article recently cited ABS-B Exchange flight tracking data       later compiled by Celebrity Jets, which added up all the trips the       director has taken on his private jet. In the space of just two months,       Spielberg’s Gulfstream G650 gobbled its way through $116,000 dollars worth       of fuel across 17,000 total miles.              Two particularly notorious private jet romps include:              • 3,589 miles from Westhampton NY to Amsterdam, Netherlands (June 29).       Total fuel cost = $21,183 / Total emissions = 32 tons of carbon dioxide.              • Amsterdam, Netherlands to Rotterdam, Netherlands, followed by a return       to Westhampton NY (July 1st). Total fuel cost = $24,685 / Total emissions       = 38 tons of carbon dioxide.              In total, Spielberg’s jet spewed out 179 tons of carbon dioxide within       just two months of traveling. For comparison, the average American’s       annual carbon footprint is 16 tons, and the average global footprint is 4       tons per person.              It’s not the first time Spielberg has raised eyebrows over the prolific       use of his trusty jet. The director was once chided for flying from       Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, to Teterboro NJ, which took a scant 56       minutes.              Spielberg’s flippant hypocrisy is part of a broader narrative that has       permeated the entirety of Left-wing cultural and political circles, and       has been emulated by prominent figures such as so-called “climate czar”       John Kerry. Recently, the controversial Democrat had the hubris to claim       that flying was “the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the       world to win this battle.”              This, in an age of Zoom and Google Meet.              Like Spielberg, Kerry also supposedly flew in a private jet to Martha’s       Vineyard – a popular getaway spot for corrupt Democratic Party elites – to       celebrate the overly maskless birthday party for Barack Obama during the       height of the Covid pandemic. The claim has been denied by Kerry’s spin       team, but it hasn’t done a lot to tack up his image.              In 2021 alone, Kerry took sixteen flights on his own private jet, many of       them within Massachusetts, the Boston International Airport, and New       Jersey. We’re sensing a pattern, here.              The recent revelation of Steven Spielberg’s hypocrisy comes to the       surprise of but a few at this point. Those proclaiming that America’s       cities would be underwater by the year 2000, or that humanity will be       wiped out in 12 years due to climate change are the same people who refuse       to curb their own luxurious excesses for the sake of “the cause.”              It’s long been theorized that Left-wing climate change alarmism is a       manufactured ploy designed to scare Americans into giving up rights and       freedoms, thereby granting larger, fatter and more corrupt governments the       ability to enslave the populace. Whether true or not, it’s obvious that       governments and Left-wing institutions around the globe, including the WHO       and the World Economic Forum, are cashing in.              Others, like Spielberg, may genuinely be concerned about the environment,       and have bought into the extremist, anti-science alarmism being peddled by       celebrity scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye. The director       has chimed in on his fear of climate change many times over the years,       including a 2018 interview to prop up his film Ready Player One.              “I’m terrified of [global warming],” he stated. “Global warming is a       scientific reality. It’s not a political trick. It’s a true piece of real,       measurable, quantifiable science.” Of course, Spielberg isn’t wrong. The       problem is that the data have been blown out of proportion and twisted for       the purposes of political opportunism.              Those crying foul may want to take a long, hard look at the U.N.’s       Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which admitted in a recent       report that if America were to cut 100% of its emissions right this       instant, global temperatures would be affected by a paltry, measly 0.137       degree Celsius by the year 2100.              The debate is whether such a minuscule, infinitesimal drop in global       temperatures is worth destroying the world’s biggest economy, whilst       killing millions of people living in developing nations via the pursuit of       extreme-radical Left-wing climate change policies.              For years, the Left have stated their goal in direct, overt fashion – to       radically change systems of government and economics for the sake of       equity-based initiatives. In April of 2021, President Joe Biden claimed       that climate change was an “opportunity to create green jobs.”              None have since materialized.              However, this doesn’t answer the question as to why Steven Spielberg, John       Kerry, and other Leftist cultural and political figures still cling to       their private jets. Either they genuinely believe in the radicalism       they’re shouting about, and are ignorant of their own culpability, or they       don’t believe the rhetoric at all, and merely want to wag their fingers at       everyone else in narcissistic fashion.              Given the chaotic, fragmented and constantly-contradictory nature of       Leftist ideology, it’s hard to tell which one.                     --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Donald J. Trump, cheated out of a second term by fraudulent "mail-in"       ballots. Report voter fraud: sf.nancy@mail.house.gov              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
