    update Climate czar JFKerry aka Lurch aka the Old Man of the Mountain

    is taking heat today for flying a private jet to the emperor's birthday super spreader bash . Rules for thee but not for me. Some pigs are more equal than others .

    Kerry's words of wisdom ...... "If you offset your carbon, it's the only choice for somebody like me, who is traveling the world to win this battle."

    How noble of him, making the supreme sacrifice of flying on a private jet like that. No sacrifice is too great. "I might be flying on a private jet, but not to fear. I'll be using taxpayer money to offset the carbon dioxide pollution."

    You know no sacrifice is too great to lower carbon emissions and a few less people on the planet achieves that objective. These sacrifices are not made with politicians lives but with the lives of the plebs. What taxpayer money would you use? The money that can be squeezed out of the lower echelons who you maintain don't pay enough tax. Perhaps you are in favour of a CO2 levy on the rich, a 20% tax should do it, this money can then be spent on more wind farms, More solar farms, while ignoring the polluting industries that provide the raw material for these technologies. Some times you just talk crap for the sake of it

    If you're referring to Tomder's echo, I couldn't agree more.

    Sometimes you're too slow to recognize satire when you see it. My post was in response to Tom's story about Kerry and was not intended to be taken literally. Wake up and smell the coffee!

    63 people have tested positive in Martha's Vineyard since the emperor's mask less super spreader birthday party. Start the contact tracing and see where it leads.

    Chicago’s top health official announced Thursday that roughly 200 Lollapalooza attendees have tested positive for COVID-19 so far in the aftermath of the four-day music festival, but she said there’s no indication the controversial event was a “superspreader.”

    So far, there have been no coronavirus deaths or hospitalizations linked to Lollapalooza, which drew a crowd of about 385,000 to Grant Park, she said.

    The outbreak of 203 cases included 127 attendees who had been vaccinated and 76 attendees who had not been immunized; 58 of the positive cases were Chicago residents, 138 lived elsewhere in Illinois and seven had traveled from out of state, Dr. Arwady said.

    200 out of 385,000 isn't at superspreader level.
