House Speaker Nancy Pelosi likes to sound the alarm about the “existential threat” caused by humans burning fossil fuels which contribute to climate change:
Today, I addressed the Opening Ceremonies of the Pre-COP26 Parliamentary Meeting.
We are at a moment of great responsibility and therefore opportunity on the climate crisis. The G20 countries could, if we act boldly and with unity, mitigate the vast majority of climate change. pic.twitter.com/qndh89od37

America is back in the global fight against climate change. But know this — the resolve of the Democratic Party, of grassroots climate activists, and of the majority of the American people has never wavered.

Democrats delivering on our promise to #BuildBackBetter by investing in mass transit will:

⚖️♿️ Increase equity and access to opportunity as communities are connected and empowered pic.twitter.com/pG0007BmNJ

Facing the existential threat of climate change, we can’t afford the science denial and environmental degradation emanating from this Administration.

Those warnings are followed by the inevitable chaser:

But of course:
The California Democrat’s campaign paid Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team a total of $423,707.62 for travel services on 10 occasions between October 2020 and December 2021, according to Federal Election Commission filings first reported by Fox News.
In January last year, the Pelosi team also paid California-based Clay Lacy Aviation $65,457.23, bringing the campaign’s private jet expenses to a grand total of $489,164.85.
Rest assured, these same people know that if they succeed in making fossil fuels unavailable to regular people, they’ll still have access to their private jets. This is about you, not them, and they know it. Pelosi’s use of private jets also shows that she doesn’t actually believe her own warnings about burning fossil fuels.
The rules are only for the peasants. Pelosi is a member of the ruling class and don't you ever forget it. https://t.co/YQ94ZaANl9

The climate rules are only for the little people.
That’s how socialism and communism always roll. https://t.co/VSBxoOZzR6— Mr T 2 (@GovtsTheProblem) February 7, 2022
John Kerry knows the “important” people get exceptions to their rules, and obviously so does Pelosi.
If you want to fly private that’s fine , just don’t preach to everyone else . https://t.co/QIeFyCYZCq

Liberal hypocrite alert. Just like her friend Leo and the rest of the new age priests. Why should I care about CO2 when that plane alone will produce a bigger carbon footstep than me in an entire year of being alive? Sorry, no. https://t.co/ccl4MblQkn

These are the same people who wonder why more people don’t believe their climate change warning when they live their lives like they don’t believe it themselves.
