"I'll Believe Global Warming is a Crisis When the People Telling Me its a Crisis Start Acting Like its a Crisis" III

Nancy Pelosi:

We have come here, in the spirit of co-operation, because we believe China and the United States can, and must, confront the challenge of climate change together. We are the biggest greenhouse gas emitters in the world

Nancy Pelosi:

  • Pelosi used the Air Force aircraft for a total of 43 trips, covering 90,155 miles, from January 1 through October 1, 2010. The Air Force documented in-flight expenses for 22 of these flights totaling $1,821.33. The Air Force did not provide expense information for the remaining 21 flights.
  • Former Speaker Pelosi received chocolate covered strawberries as a birthday surprise on a March 26, 2010 flight. According to one internal Air Force email sent on March 25, 2010: “The speaker’s office is requesting egg salad sandwiches on wheat toast with fruit (watermelon, etc) for desert [sic]. It’s the speaker’s B-Day tomorrow so we’re also asking for something like chocolate covered strawberries (dark chocolate preferred)…” The immediate response to the email from another member of the Air Force staff: “Copy all. We’ll plan something for the birthday and take care of the meal.”
Note: These were not commercial flights (I would have no objection to those). I object to her use of these private jets for her and her family (sometimes she wasn't even on board, it is our tax dollars paying for the flights) while she is lecturing the rest of us that we must cut greenhouse gas emissions.
