Countless celebrities insist that you, you, you must sacrifice to save the world from climate change. Do they believe what they say?  Or do they just read from scripts to enhance their celebrity?

Movie stars tell you to turn down your thermostats. Or turn them up. (The latest insistence.) Politicians and Al Gore types propose you endure any number of sacrifices. You should drive less. Or drive only electric vehicles, or clown cars. Certainly dump your pickup or SUV. You should stop flying and take trains instead.

These elitist celebs insist that you must shrink your carbon footprint. By changing your diet. You know, forsake meat so we can rid the world of beefers, chooks and porkers.

If you don’t follow their instructions and urgings you will bring on Armageddon. So they say. Note that they do not urge you to follow their lead. For they leadeth us to Armageddon. Their behavior does.

As you know, the celeb crowd loves to fly private jets. To galas where they wolf down caviar and tenderloin. And wash it down with bubbly flown in for the events. Try to book them to appear at your gala. They will come only if you pay for them to whoop in and out by private jets.

Bernie Sanders is a good example of this. Hillary recruited him to campaign for her in the last election. Bernie said he would. But only if he could fly by private jets. This is the Bernie who chastises you for flying business to see your kids in Denver because of the carbon your flight will spew.

Al Gore preaches to you about the end of the world. The one that he promises is coming if you don’t change your carbon-frittering ways. Yet Al maintains several carbon-frittering homes. One is said to be the largest home in all of Tennessee.  So large it gobbles the energy of twenty peon homes. Reports are that its pool pumps never sleep.

Leonardo DeCaprio is another example of climate panic hypocricy. He flew by private jet from Cannes to New York. To accept an award for his efforts to save our environment. He then flew private jet back to Cannes. His flights burned enough fuel to power 10,000 cars for an entire day. Ahem, those are cars for the likes of you, peon.

This was the same guy who told you that climate change was the most urgent threat facing our entire species.

Meanwhile, one of the jet-setting crowd berates you to buy locally-grown produce. To save the planet, and all that. She grows veges on her Italian estate. Organically, for sure. To save chemicals, which will save the planet. Then she flies the broccoli and carrots to London to sell.

Google sponsored a big eco-event on a Greek island. I guess it was for billionaires only. They steamed in by yachts. And by 114 private jets.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan fly all over the world on private jets. Sometimes two flights a week. But Elton John paid for one of their flights. And sent a check to a charity that saves carbon. That made everything all right.

And the prince and bride pledged to have only two children. In order to save the planet. So burning that jet fuel is okay.

Meanwhile, meanwhile, 16-year-old Greta Thunberg sets sail across the Atlantic in a yacht. To save the carbon that would have been emitted had she flown. Her crew will be jetted back across the Atlantic. But eco-saint Greta did her bit. So it is okay.

I love the proposal FoxNews’ Tucker Carlson made. He and climate-change denier Marc Morano were chatting. Carlson suggested that Republicans put forth a bill to ban private air travel. Travel by private jets. He wondered how many congressguys would vote for it. Congressguys who buy into the Green New Deal.

Those who want to save the planet from carbon emissions ought to support such a ban. Over 31,000 private jets emit fumes that threaten to snuff out our lives. About 70 percent of them are in America. Private jets account for 2 percent of global emissions.

This did not bother Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was governor of California. He reckoned the governor’s mansion was not up to his style of living. So he flew to and from his home and office every day. By private jet.

He also suggested his subjects dry their laundry on clothes lines. To save the planet he was destroying.

While our elite jet to conferences to prattle about the fragile planet, you shell out for their excesses. France plans to tax airlines $300 million per year. And the Dutch now tax all passengers. And such countries urge all EU countries to levy similar taxes. All of this to discourage you from flying. In order to save the planet.

When the end of the world comes, the elite will fly their private jets to witness it. You will have to arrive by stagecoach.
