And they shouldn\u2019t point to another lie \u2014\u201d Bonta said, before CNBC anchor Joe Kernen cut him off to point out the irony of Bonta railing against jet fuel after flying to New York City to partake in a climate summit attended by numerous business and political elites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou flew here though, right?\u201d Kernen asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe travel,\u201d Bonta replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Bonta flew roundtrip from Sacramento to New York City to appear at Climate Week, he would have flown approximately 5,000 miles and emitted about 2.26 metric tons of carbon dioxide,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabletravel.org\/our-work\/carbon-offsets\/calculate-footprint\/?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwxsm3BhDrARIsAMtVz6NmhiETkKteMLqpRszI66bP-3KcWo0AFYJDrmbXGa9QFdhsX2r5fAcaArA7EALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a>&nbsp;to calculations done on Sustainable Travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
