In the past I've written a lot about John Kerry, to a large degree because I think he's a dangerous hypocrite, and worse yet, he seems to have a lot of pull and he's not even an elected official. Oh, and he'd appreciate it if millions and millions of people would starve to death, ostensibly to save the remaining humanity (which would of course include John Kerry and his globalist wacko friends) from "climate change":

Kerry's happy to inform us that he's got to kill us to save us. If there are fewer of us to notice that Kerry's a massive eco-hypocrite then he won't face as much resistance.
Now Kerry heads up one of the biggest wastes of money in the federal government (tied for first with more than a dozen other departments), the White House's Climate Office. Kerry's called the "climate czar" and his job is to help sell the Left's sham.
In the past I've written about how much money American taxpayers are wasting for salaries and expenses for Kerry's "climate" office, and that's just what they'll admit. But the State Department won't be fully transparent on how much money's being wasted on this because it "would result in reasonably foreseeable harm":
Climate Czar John Kerry's office costs American taxpayers $4,300,000 in salary costs alone each year.

There it is! OK, harm to whom?

That was in a State Department response to a Boston Herald FOIA request that was met with only partial compliance:
It’s a rare glimpse into Kerry’s fiefdom that hits up taxpayers for $4.3 million in pay per year, according to records obtained using the Freedom of Information Act.
Kerry, however, does not reveal the names of anyone on his staff and redacts the titles of eight top aides paid up to $186,680 a year.
The 27 entries include brief titles — from “policy analyst” to “senior advisor” — and bi-weekly pay. It’s unclear if Kerry is on the list. Kerry’s Climate website does list Rick Duke and Sue Biniaz as as deputy special envoys, yet the FOIA release does not.
An equally reticent State Department told the Herald they “considered the foreseeable harm standard” in exempting names of government employees and some titles.
My guess is that means it would harm the scam. We're getting ripped off and they don't want us to know exactly how badly. And I don't for one second believe that all this doesn't cost taxpayers way more than $4.3 million a year. One more guess: They're probably also trying to hide how much money is spent flying these people all around the world so they can warn everybody about the dangers of burning fossil fuels.
Think about that -- we're paying a dozen or more people almost a couple hundred thousand dollars a year to push leftist fear-mongering about "climate change." Unreal. November can't get here fast enough.
Has anybody ever calculated the costs of virtue signaling - government and economy as a whole?

I don't think there are enough zeroes in the entire world to make that number.
