Former Secretary of State John Kerry, who’s been [dubbed](https://humanevents.com/2023/07/20/two-christian-women-stripped-naked-paraded-through-streets-by-mob-then-gang-raped-after-men-who-tried-to-protect-them-were-bludgeoned-to-death-in-india) President Biden’s “climate czar,” appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committee last Thursday where he was grilled about his personal contribution to carbon emissions.

Kerry was asked a question by Representative Cory Mills about his history of private jet usage while speaking out about the [drastic consequences](https://thepostmillennial.com/biden-admin-demands-texas-remove-razor-wire-border-barriers-in-the-rio-grande) that carbon emissions have on the environment. When asked about this, Kerry stated that it was “one of the [most outrageously](https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-investigation-underway-after-rand-pauls-kentucky-office-destroyed-in-fire) persistent lies” that he has heard. Kerry also claimed that he has never personally owned a private jet.

But Flight tracking data obtained by [Fox News Digital](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerry-scorched-misleading-private-jet-use-democrats-standard-hypocrisy) tells a different story. Over the course of the Biden administration’s first 18 months in office, John Kerry’s family made nearly 50 trips lasting more than 60 hours on Kerry’s family-owned jet. This has resulted in an estimated 715,886 pounds of carbon.

Kerry is correct in stating that he “personally” has never owned a private jet… because his family’s jet is officially owned by his wife.

The hypocrisy of Kerry’s actions is obvious: Kerry speaks out about the catastrophic dangers of carbon emissions while he lives a lifestyle of carelessness towards the environment.

It’s not uncommon for so-called climate activists like Kerry to live a life of hypocrisy. [Earlier this year](https://www.tpusa.com/live/world-economic-forum-leaders-slammed-for-climate-hypocrisy) when the political elites traveled to the World Economic Forum Summit in Davos, over 500 flights were used to transport the climate change doomsdayers in and out of the city. A large percentage of these flights covered a distance of less than 62 miles.

Kerry’s dishonesty and hypocrisy has sparked heavy criticism from a number of congressmen. Representative Mike Waltz took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/michaelgwaltz/status/1679567609950248962)to point out the same thing we’re all thinking:

“John Kerry is preaching climate change while he & his family fly on private jets,” Representative Waltz tweeted. “That smacks of hypocrisy as he’s asking everyday Americans to make sacrifices.“
