Climate Czar John Kerry traveled to Asia in early April to promote President Joe Biden’s climate change agenda. While he was preaching about the dangers of climate change, his family was reportedly traveling the country on their private jet.

Kerry, the U.S. presidential special envoy for climate, traveled to New Delhi on Thursday to discuss climate change and meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Washington Post reported. He said that the U.S. needs all the partners it can get while implementing Biden’s ambitious climate plan. If not, he said, countries could face a “mutual suicide pact across the planet.”

The climate Czar’s dramatic testimony may seem to indicate that Kerry is willing to make personal sacrifices to guarantee the safety of the planet. But flight logs show that the private jet reportedly belonging to Kerry’s family flew from Massachusetts to Idaho the day after he visited India.

Fox News first reported the family’s flight on their private jet. Flight logs also show that the private plane traveled across the state of Massachusetts from Bedford to Martha’s Vineyard on March 26, and flew from Martha’s Vineyard to Boston on March 28, according to the report.

Private jets emit an estimated 40 times more carbon dioxide emissions per passenger than commercial airplanes, according to a report by aviation firm Honeywell Aerospace. Between February 2020 and January 2021, Kerry’s private jet spent more than 20 hours in the air, flight logs show according to the outlet. That means the private plane emitted an estimated 116 metric tons of carbon dioxide.

Kerry’s use of a private jet has been criticized by many people including Republican Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton and former United States Secretary of Energy Rick Perry.

In 2019, Kerry took a private jet to accept the Arctic Circle climate award in Iceland. When the head of the Arctic Circle Roundtable, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, challenged him on his use of the private jet, Kerry told him that flying private is “the only choice for somebody like me.”

He also claimed to “offset” his carbon without explanation.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
