The moonbats running Europe have stultified the economy and driven energy prices into the stratosphere in the name of their climate ideology, according to which anything consuming fossil fuels must be suppressed or the weather will be warmer, which would supposedly constitute a catastrophe.

Even Politico can’t help but notice their hypocrisy:

The EU is planning to spend as much as €16 million over the next four years to fly its top officials by private jet, according to a tender document.

This is an increase of €3 million from the previous four-year period and is 50 percent higher than the period before that, which ended in 2021.

Taxpayers are forced to finance the lavish travel arrangements of pernicious bureaucrats who have limited the public’s ability to travel.

According to Diane Vitry, aviation director at the NGO Transport and Environment, private jets pollute “five to 14 times more than commercial flights and 50 times more than trains per passenger.” But Eurocrats find them more convenient.

In its response, the Commission said that increased private jet spending was not a row-back of its climate ambitions and that it retained its commitment “to be a front runner in the transition towards a climate-neutral society.”

That is, they will suppress those they rule over all the more tyrannically, so as to make it up to their weather gods.

Banning plastic forks isn’t the only means Democrats have of perfecting the weather. They also advise us to wear used clothing. This works so well that it allows them to live large without worrying about endangering the climate. Take congresscritter Chellie Pingree (D-ME):

According to an investigation by the Maine Wire, Pingree, who prides herself on fighting climate change, was responsible for roughly 15.98 metric tons of emissions.

That’s not counting the emissions from trips on private jets.

Despite recently telling Americans to wear hand-me-downs in a social media video, Pingree jetted to locations including Japan, Norway, Italy and Germany.

Pingree has expensed over $100,000 for travel, leaving others to pick up the tab. This benefits the planet, because if we were allowed to spend our own money instead of Pingree spending it for us, we might buy ourselves new clothes, which would make it be too warm outside.

Speaking for the globalist liberal elite, prominent ecowarrior Bill Gates tells us to eat synthetic food because according to their religion, meat causes global warming, which in turn will cause the seas to rise. While promoting the pointless and unachievable goal of zero emissions, the pursuit of which would radically reduce our standard of living, Gates squeaks,

As sea levels and floodplains change, we’ll need to rethink where we put homes and businesses.

Yet like other wealthy moonbats who have supported global warming dogma (e.g., Al Gore, Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos), the spot he chooses for his own home is right on the beach:

[C]onstruction has got underway on a massive oceanfront estate in Southern California believed to be owned by 66-year-old Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, for him to use as his ‘summer bachelor pad’.

The six-bedroom, three-bathroom 5,800 square-foot home situated in tony Del Mar, north of San Diego, was purchased by the Gates in March 2020 for $43million…

It was one of the most expensive home purchases ever in San Diego County, but Gates is now carrying out a gut renovation on the house in order to effectively build a brand new property for himself which will ultimately occupy more than 6,000 square feet when complete, across four parcels of land.

Clearly Gates knows as well as we do that the climate crisis is a crock of crap. Less clear is why the liberal elite is so ostentatious about not really believing the dogma they use as a pretext to make life hell for the rest of us. Can anyone’s arrogance be massive enough to explain this?
