There’s a doubleshot of irony here, almost totally missed by writer Brent Johnson at NJ.com
Gov. Phil Murphy is heading to California for a quick trip to discuss climate change.
Murphy will leave New Jersey on Wednesday to take part in the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.
The Democratic governor will participate in a Thursday morning panel at the conference about what cities, states, businesses, and society have achieved in the fight against global warming.
Murphy is scheduled to fly back to New Jersey on Thursday evening.
While he’s way, Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver will serve as acting governor.
The big irony here is that Murphy, who is a Total Believer in man-caused climate change, is taking a long cross country trip in a fossil fueled airplane, and you can bet he won’t be flying commercial, to participate in a conference that complains about climate change caused by fossil fuels. As Instapundit is fond of writing “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis act like it’s a crisis” to which I like to add at the end “in their own lives”.
Murphy’s trip comes as Hurricane Florence barrels toward the East Coast. Murphy said Tuesday that the state is making emergency preparations, even though the storm is not expected to directly hit New Jersey.
Imagine that Phil was a Republican, and booking off even for a day. Imagine how the media and the Democrats would skewer him. In reality, they can do without him for a day, and, there are phones, email, and text. Still, the optics of booking to the other side of the country would have a Republican being blasted.
Regardless, why should we believe that we’re doomed when Warmists refuse to act as if we’re doomed in their own lives?
