Hillary Belches 2 Tons of Carbon Dioxide An Hour After Getting Green Endorsement
Video-On Monday, Hillary Clinton accepted the endorsement of the powerful League of Conservation Voters (LCV). The next day, she hopped on a gas-guzzlingprivate Learjet (which emits 2 tons of carbon per hour) to make another appearance.
Clinton’s campaign had pledged to go carbon neutral back in July 2014. However, as CNN reported three weeks ago, the Clinton team has yet to make good on that promise.
