Hillary Clinton’s Hypocrisy on Climate Change Brilliantly Exposed

From The Daily Mail:

Just hours after Hillary Clinton unveiled her presidential campaign’s push to solve global warming through an aggressive carbon-cutting plan, she sauntered up the steps of a 19-seat private jet in Des Moines, Iowa.

The aircraft, a Dassault model Falcon 900B, burns 347 gallons of fuel per hour. And like all Dassault business jets, Hillary’s ride was made in France.

The Trump-esque transportation costs $5,850 per hour to rent, according to the website of Executive Fliteways, the company that owns it.

And she has used the same plane before, including on at least one trip for speeches that brought her $500,000 in fees.

On Monday the Democratic presidential front-runner announced the details of her initiative to tackle climate change, calling it ‘one of the most urgent threats of our time.’

But shortly afterward, a videographer working with the conservative America Rising PAC spotted her at the private air terminal in Des Moines.

Fifteen seconds of video shot just after 12:00 noon, local time, shows Clinton walking up the plane’s stairs while an aide holds a giant black umbrella over her head to sheld her from falling rain.

‘Despite her campaign’s best efforts to rebrand her as a down-to-earth fighter for “everyday Americans,” Hillary Clinton’s jet-setting ways are just further confirmation that she’s out of touch with the American people,’ the group’s communications director Jeff Bechdel told DailyMail.com.

‘It’s that kind of hypocrisy that makes the majority of voters say Clinton is not honest or trustworthy.’

Mrs. Clinton said Monday in Des Moines that ‘the reality of climate change is unforgiving – no matter what the deniers say. Sea levels are rising. Ice caps are melting. Storms, wildfires, and extreme weather are wreaking havoc.’

‘This is one of the most urgent threats of our time, and we have no choice but to rise and meet it,’ she added.

The environmental lobby is unanimous in its certainty that carbon emissions from human activities have caused the globe to warm in recent decades, even though raw thermometer data from around the world suggest it has been 18 years since the planet’s temperature has ticked upward.

Reducing that carbon footprint, they say, requires dramatic cuts in the burning of fossil fuels like the jet fuels Clinton’s jet consumed between Iowa and New Hampshire.
