Bill Maher, the host of “Real Time,” recently addressed the sensitive topic of environmentalism during his closing monologue. He boldly confessed that he, like many other environmentalists, flies private. He then presented a photo collage of celebrities and politicians, including Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, and John Kerry, who have been spotted flying private jets despite their claims of being environmentally conscious.

According to Maher, there are only two types of people in the world when it comes to flying private: those who fly private and those who would if they could. He admitted to renting private jets for work-related purposes but acknowledged that he no longer needs to do so. He then went on to call out the Biden administration’s climate czar John Kerry for his infamous use of private jets, calling it hypocritical.

Maher also shared his journey to being environmentally conscious. He was one of the first people to have a Prius in 2001 and later got a Tesla in 2010. He had high hopes that his actions would inspire others to follow but admitted that it didn’t happen. He acknowledged that it is easy to point fingers at celebrities like Taylor Swift, but the problem is much deeper and requires serious solutions.

He concluded by calling for serious action to combat Climate change, suggesting more investment in research and development, and exploring nuclear energy as a solution. He emphasized that the real problem is not the lack of technology but how people are wired.

In conclusion, Maher’s confession reminds us that we all have a role to play in saving the planet. It is easy to point fingers at others and call them out for their hypocrisy, but it is important to focus on solutions and take action. Let’s not just talk the talk, but walk the walk and make a real impact on the environment. 

The next time you consider taking a flight, consider the impact it will have on the planet and consider alternative options. Together, we can make a difference.
