U.S. climate envoy John Kerry spars in heated exchanges with House Republicans ahead of Beijing trip

In the most heated confrontation, Republican Rep. Scott Perry accused Kerry of drumming up a “problem that doesn't exist” in global warming. When Kerry asked why the world's scientists and the 195 global governments behind the Paris climate accord would make up global warming, Perry responded, “Because they're grifting, like you are," drawing gasps from lawmakers.

These conspiracy theorists need to be shamed everywhere they go.

Fireworks broke out again after Rep. Cory Mills, a Florida Republican, made a reference to claims that Kerry conducts his climate work by private jet

So THAT'S where that stupid argument came from yesterday.

I knew a certain someone wasn't smart enough to think up something that pointless on its own.....

Dumb, meet dumber.

I guess the multiple “once in a thousand years” weather events (all occurring at remarkably similar timing) are yet more examples of the meteorological cult that seeks to establish new gender identities (someone here actually said this)?

Scott Perry doesn’t accept the overwhelming evidence and consensus on global warming. But he does accept that Italian satellites were part of a global conspiracy to change votes from Trump to Biden.

Stupid man.

Not just dumb, plastic. Incapable of learning or growth.

Bob Kerry is a hypocrite making money off of climate change. Just because he flies on Soros' or some other donors private jet because they know this question is coming doesn't make it right.

Even if he flies commercially the space for his body guards and entourage makes his carbon footprint one of the biggest on the planet.

How about a zoom call Bob? Too hard to discuss bribes and kickbacks when recording?

John Kelly has not used any private jet since becoming Climate Envoy. Mostly commercial flights and some military flights. His family sold their plane last February.

Pretty sure Perry sees this the way Westboro does, just knows that it would be a vote-loser if he said the real cause of climate disaster on the Senate floor.

That’s the case for many of the MAGA pols, but Perry is one of the kooks who actually believes the lies and conspiracies. There are emails documenting this.

Maybe he means Jim Carrey?

Seems about the kind of mistake a climate-denying goober would make....

This guy is the face of everything wrong with this administration.

entitled, arrogant, untruthful, misleading.

Facts:

my wife had a private jet. It was sold like 4 months ago because I kept being criticized for it. I used it often when my wife owned it to travel for work more than 40 times since Biden in office.

is this how that would be explained to others?

“We don't own a private jet. I don't own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet.”

Kerry, who did not deny traveling on a private jet, was responding to Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., who told Kerry that he hoped "it wasn't too problematic for your operational team and your private jet to get here."

Facts:

Climate change is real. Denying it is to mark oneself a moron. And piddling about a private jet is nothing more than a (pathetically weak) attempt to distract from the obvious.

Global warming is real and a problem.

Republicans and switching the subject away from the issue is their main MO because they don't critically think and constantly lie to create their narratives.

Predictable, sooner or later, they'll have to acknowledge climate change, and then they'll blame the liberals.

Make no mistake, like the financial crisis, they ignore it, wait for it to implode, depend on a smarter liberal to fix it, and then say it's the Democrats fault.

It is a pathetic attempt to deflect from both the reality of climate change (they obviously have not checked out the news lately) and the utter vapidity of the GQP approach (or total lack thereof) to it.

Trump flies everywhere in his private jet even small hops like Florida to NY.

Those republicans in the house are a disgrace to the entire USA, sadly, most of the people do not know it.
