The jet has crisscrossed across the continental United States, traveling to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Texas and several other states often before returning to its apparent base in San Jose, California.<\/p>\n<p>In that time span, Zuckerberg\u2019s private jet emitted more than 253 metric tons of carbon, a greenhouse gas that experts say is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/category\/fox-news-environment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contributing to global warming<\/a>\u00a0and climate change. By comparison, the average American has a total carbon footprint of 16 tons a year while the average person worldwide burns about 4 tons a year, according to The Nature Conservancy.<\/p>\n<p>The Gulfstream recorded several long-distance cross-country treks over the last two months, but also made multiple short trips, the data showed. For example, the jet traveled just 18 miles between two Arizona airstrips on Oct. 15 and 28 miles from Carlsbad, California, to San Diego on Aug. 28.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Zuckerberg\u2019s company, Facebook, is an enforcer of official orthodoxy on climate change. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2021\/02\/19\/facebook-says-it-will-fact-check-global-warming-misinformation\/\">In 2021, the social network announced<\/a> it would fact check \u201cmisinformation\u201d about global warming, relying on academics from Yale, George Mason, and the University of Cambridge to \u201cfact check\u201d posts about climate change.<\/p>\n<p>The company announced it would add labels to posts, directing users to \u201cinformation hubs\u201d that contain officially approved information about the issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\"><strong><em>Allum Bokhari is the senior technology correspondent at Breitbart News.\u00a0He is the author of\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/DELETED-Techs-Battle-Movement-Election\/dp\/154605930X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">#DELETED: Big Tech\u2019s Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal The Election.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s private jet emits 17 times more carbon emissions in two months than the average American does in a year, according to flight tracking data.
