The wealthy businessmen, government officials, academics, and bureaucrats heading for the woke COP31 conference in terror-sponsoring Turkey, where they will tell all of us peasants to sacrifice our rights and comforts, are using more private jets than they did last year. They are so confident that they can shape global policy regardless that they evidently believe they don’t even have to fake following their own rules.
While President Donald Trump is boycotting COP31, multiple powerful American companies are sending delegates, including Amazon, Apple, and Google — all of which have manufacturing or other business investment in China, meaning they have promised to advance the goals of a genocidal and hostile foreign government. Experts have already asked Trump to use his leverage to prevent these companies from implementing destructive energy policies, given that they also have deals with the U.S. federal government. Among the major goals of COP31 is to cut carbon, which is the building block of life, and phase out reliable energy like gas and coal.
That is, to phase out gas for everyone but the elites. Don’t expect them to give up their private jets and palatial mansions.
Watch: CNN reveals climate hypocrisy: '93 private jets land in COP31 host city during climate conference’ so far! Up from ’66 private jet journeys’ last year – Private jets emit ‘the same amount of fuel as flying around the world three times’ https://t.co/OOA6ierPfq https://t.co/L52O5ZKAxK

Together, the more than 90 jets that flew into COP31 emitted as much pollution as a regular flight around the world three times. But they’re the privileged and enlightened elite, so they must be allowed to pollute as much as they want while claiming your drive to family Thanksgiving two states over is killing Earth. Al Gore, Bill Gates, and John Kerry grew very rich and powerful off telling everyone else to simplify their lives or be accused of torching the planet.
Just as China manufactures solar panels and windmill parts for the rest of the world while building more coal plants and polluting horrendously, so these globalist elites believe in destroying the energy grid for almost everyone but themselves. Because this was never about saving the planet, it was all about control. The fewer people who can afford to have cars or airline travel or meat or gas stoves, the more people will be in one place under constant surveillance by the government. That’s why American companies like Apple and Amazon lecture about the importance of climate action while moving their industry to the world’s number one polluter: China.
The reality is that families with 10 kids who never go on vacation or taxpayers who have to work multiple jobs just to afford cars and homes are not the ones with a massive carbon footprint. The oligarchs who use private jets and own multiple gargantuan estates are the ones with the huge carbon footprint.
Fortunately, as I mentioned above, carbon is the building block of life, so we don’t need to restrict it, and every major climate alarmist prediction for more than 60 years has been wrong. That doesn’t make the elites who preach against carbon at forums like COP31 any less hypocritical. But it does mean they have a much more sinister agenda, which they hide under their preaching about climate change.
