Read here. I've never used this phrase at 'C3' before but it seems appropriate: "you can't make this stuff up."
"With a schedule as hectic as President Obama's it must be hard to stick to a training regimen without help -- but why does he insist on having his old trainer fly out from Chicago to D.C. regularly when Obama and his wife exhort the rest of us to drive less? And in a recession? According to Ashley Parker at the New York Times, Obama's fitness czar Cornell McClellan comes out to D.C. every week.....but that comes at a steep cost for those as environmentally minded as the Obamas: 50,000 lbs of carbon emissions. That's how much carbon emissions are involved in McClellan's flying back and forth every week for a year.....Doing so would have at least been consistent with Obama's statements about the need to reduce emissions. Last July, Obama announced that he wanted federal workers to cut down on business travel and commuting by car in order to reduce emissions produced by the federal government: The White House was announcing Tuesday that the government will aim to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from indirect sources like employee driving by 13 percent in 2020, compared with 2008 levels."
The big government loving politicians, bureaucrats, and the chattering-class elites don't give a F.F. about global warming, nor are they concerned about their own conspicuous production of CO2 emissions. These ruling-class elites will never "walk their talk," and that's why no one should ever believe a single word they say about the dangers of CO2 to the climate.
Why do the elites act so differently than their climate propaganda rhetoric, claims and pleas suggest? Because the real reasons behind their support of climate change policies being forced on the masses are not what the MSM portrays - the real reasons can best be understood by reading the elites' own inconvenient quotes.
