Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, who once revitalized the film
industry by giving birth to the summer tentpole blockbuster phenomenon,
has forever been an ardent climate change activist. However, like many
Left-wing cultural figures in America these days, that activism is running
headfirst into some dicey territory.

A New York Post article recently cited ABS-B Exchange flight tracking data
later compiled by Celebrity Jets, which added up all the trips the
director has taken on his private jet. In the space of just two months,
Spielberg’s Gulfstream G650 gobbled its way through $116,000 dollars worth
of fuel across 17,000 total miles.

Two particularly notorious private jet romps include:

• 3,589 miles from Westhampton NY to Amsterdam, Netherlands (June 29).
Total fuel cost = $21,183 / Total emissions = 32 tons of carbon dioxide.

• Amsterdam, Netherlands to Rotterdam, Netherlands, followed by a return
to Westhampton NY (July 1st). Total fuel cost = $24,685 / Total emissions
= 38 tons of carbon dioxide.

In total, Spielberg’s jet spewed out 179 tons of carbon dioxide within
just two months of traveling. For comparison, the average American’s
annual carbon footprint is 16 tons, and the average global footprint is 4
tons per person.

It’s not the first time Spielberg has raised eyebrows over the prolific
use of his trusty jet. The director was once chided for flying from
Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, to Teterboro NJ, which took a scant 56
minutes.

Spielberg’s flippant hypocrisy is part of a broader narrative that has
permeated the entirety of Left-wing cultural and political circles, and
has been emulated by prominent figures such as so-called “climate czar”
John Kerry. Recently, the controversial Democrat had the hubris to claim
that flying was “the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the
world to win this battle.”

This, in an age of Zoom and Google Meet.

Like Spielberg, Kerry also supposedly flew in a private jet to Martha’s
Vineyard – a popular getaway spot for corrupt Democratic Party elites – to
celebrate the overly maskless birthday party for Barack Obama during the
height of the Covid pandemic. The claim has been denied by Kerry’s spin
team, but it hasn’t done a lot to tack up his image.

In 2021 alone, Kerry took sixteen flights on his own private jet, many of
them within Massachusetts, the Boston International Airport, and New
Jersey. We’re sensing a pattern, here.

The recent revelation of Steven Spielberg’s hypocrisy comes to the
surprise of but a few at this point. Those proclaiming that America’s
cities would be underwater by the year 2000, or that humanity will be
wiped out in 12 years due to climate change are the same people who refuse
to curb their own luxurious excesses for the sake of “the cause.”

It’s long been theorized that Left-wing climate change alarmism is a
manufactured ploy designed to scare Americans into giving up rights and
freedoms, thereby granting larger, fatter and more corrupt governments the
ability to enslave the populace. Whether true or not, it’s obvious that
governments and Left-wing institutions around the globe, including the WHO
and the World Economic Forum, are cashing in.

Others, like Spielberg, may genuinely be concerned about the environment,
and have bought into the extremist, anti-science alarmism being peddled by
celebrity scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye. The director
has chimed in on his fear of climate change many times over the years,
including a 2018 interview to prop up his film Ready Player One.

“I’m terrified of [global warming],” he stated. “Global warming is a
scientific reality. It’s not a political trick. It’s a true piece of real,
measurable, quantifiable science.” Of course, Spielberg isn’t wrong. The
problem is that the data have been blown out of proportion and twisted for
the purposes of political opportunism.

Those crying foul may want to take a long, hard look at the U.N.’s
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which admitted in a recent
report that if America were to cut 100% of its emissions right this
instant, global temperatures would be affected by a paltry, measly 0.137
degree Celsius by the year 2100.

The debate is whether such a minuscule, infinitesimal drop in global
temperatures is worth destroying the world’s biggest economy, whilst
killing millions of people living in developing nations via the pursuit of
extreme-radical Left-wing climate change policies.

For years, the Left have stated their goal in direct, overt fashion – to
radically change systems of government and economics for the sake of
equity-based initiatives. In April of 2021, President Joe Biden claimed
that climate change was an “opportunity to create green jobs.”

None have since materialized.

However, this doesn’t answer the question as to why Steven Spielberg, John
Kerry, and other Leftist cultural and political figures still cling to
their private jets. Either they genuinely believe in the radicalism
they’re shouting about, and are ignorant of their own culpability, or they
don’t believe the rhetoric at all, and merely want to wag their fingers at
everyone else in narcissistic fashion.

Given the chaotic, fragmented and constantly-contradictory nature of
Leftist ideology, it’s hard to tell which one.
