As Glenn Reynolds constantly writes “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who say it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis”
(Wall Street Journal) New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will go to Rome on Monday, where he will meet with Pope Francis and give a speech on climate change at the Vatican, the mayor’s aides said Wednesday.
The mayor will join 65 other mayors from around the U.S. and the world at the Vatican-sponsored conference Modern Slavery and Climate Change: the Commitment of the Cities. The mayors of Boston, Seattle, New Orleans, San Francisco and Portland, Ore., are expected to attend.
This is the second trip to Italy for Mr. de Blasio since he took office 18 months ago. The mayor, who is partially of Italian descent, went there with his family last summer for a vacation.
That’s slightly over 1 metric ton per person for a round trip from NYC to Rome. The carbon footprint obviously is higher for those coming from further away. The trip is being paid for by the people of NYC. Will they also be paying for the carbon offsets? Because Warmists would rather pay a penalty rather than giving up their own big carbon ways.
This time, Mr. de Blasio will deliver a speech on the city’s climate-change plan, called OneNYC, and the role the mayor says it will play in addressing income inequality.
Funny how Warmism also seems to jibe perfectly with Progressive goals and talking points.
And always includes metric tons of hypocrisy.
Mr Teach, you just don’t understand! Our Betters must be freed from the constraints they would impose on us, because they are doing the Lord’s work in battling
global warmingclimate change, and because they are Our Betters.Please make a note of this.
And always includes metric tons of hypocrisy.
Uh, yeah!
