Surprise: World Leaders Yammer About Solving Climate Crisis (scam) While Taking Lots Of Fossil Fueled Flights

Think back to the 2007 UN IPCC Conference on the Parties, held in the exotic location of Fiji. So many people took private jets to complain about ‘climate change’ that there was nowhere to park the jets, so they had to deadhead them, ie, fly with no passengers, to other islands. Then fly them back for people to leave. Well, guess what? That even happens when they fly into New York for U.N. meetings

While world leaders are at the UN talking climate change, their private jets are often forced to fly and park hundreds of miles away

New York City in September is a hotspot for world leaders as the United Nations holds its annual General Assembly. Climate change is a key topic at this year’s conference, with leaders including President Joe Biden announcing additional investments in climate finance for developing countries.

But while leaders talk about commitments to climate change on the world stage, their government planes are burning extra jet fuel by flying empty to airports across the Northeast just to park during the event.

New York’s JFK International Airport is the preferred gateway to the UN for many visiting countries due to its proximity to Manhattan. A long-standing rule of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, however, restricts those aircraft from staying at JFK while their passengers head to the UN.

Foreign military and state aircraft are barred from staying at Port Authority airports overnight due to traffic and space constraints, a spokesperson confirmed to Insider. After they’ve landed at a Port airport, those aircraft have two hours to depart for another airport where they’ll park while in the US.

Good on Business Insider in exposing this, which happens at ever ‘climate change’ big wig event, which can now include standard U.N. meetings since they yammer about climate doom. Some will say “well, how will these world leaders get there?” They could fly commercial. They could “plane pool”, essentially picking up other world leaders. They could take a ship. Sure, it’s slower, but, lower carbon footprint, right? These same people want to restrict the peons from flying, and skyrocket the cost of flying making it harder for the non-rich/important to fly. Yet, they casually jet off themselves

The COVID-19 pandemic gave New York skies a reprieve as the General Assembly went virtual in 2020. But despite fears of the Delta variant, this year’s in-person session pressed on and foreign leaders were ready to adopt “have plane, will travel.”

Many of those planes were jumbo jets, such as the one that brought Boris Johnson, and “a Boeing Business Jet 747-8i of the Turkish government, Airbus A319 of the Italian government, and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, among many others.”

They do know they can Zoom the meetings, or do some sort of virtual one, right? Oh, right, they want to press the flesh, eat well, and show how Important they are, repeat the rewards of their position. And stop you from doing the same.

Making Meals From Mealworms Is ‘Part of the Answer’ to the Climate Crisis, the CEO of Ynsect Says

Global food production accounts for one-third of all greenhouse-gas emissions, according to a comprehensive study published this year in the journal Nature Food that looked at every aspect of food production from transportation to packaging. Meat production alone makes up nearly 60% of that total.

The study underscores the growing consensus that in order to stave off the worst impacts of climate change, the world needs a dramatic rethinking of how food is produced and consumed. Especially since the U.N. estimates that food production will have to increase by 70% by 2050 to feed the world’s growing population.

They always have this food doom, yet, records keep being set. Such as with grain harvests and seafood.

Increasingly, companies and scientists are viewing insects as an environmentally sustainable alternative source of protein. Crickets, grasshoppers and beetles are already commercially produced and processed for human and animal consumption. Ynsect, a 10-year-old French company, is focused on mealworms, the larval stage of beetles.

Nope. Piss off.
