Trudeau’s $2M, 6-Day Trip Emits 700 Tons of CO2, While Hitting Canadians With a New Carbon Tax
His 6-day trip is equivalent to 1,434
Canada's climate change warrior took a 6-day trip that emitted 7 tons of CO2*--equivalent to more than 1,400 cross-Canada flights--while hitting Canadians with a 23% carbon tax increase on April 1. *calculation at end of article
To put PM Justin Trudeau’s CO2 emissions into perspective:
Cross-Country Air Travel:
Simple Comparison: It would take about 1,434 average flights (at 4,500 km each) to produce as much CO2 as emitted during Trudeau’s 700-ton CO2 trip. That's more than the daily number of flights typically handled by a major airport.
Driving a Gasoline Car:
Simple Comparison: You would need to drive a gasoline car around 38,043 kilometers to emit as much CO2 as Trudeau's trip. That's like driving nearly the equivalent of circling the entire globe.
Home Electricity Use:
Simple Comparison: You would need about 285 years of typical home electricity use to match the CO2 emissions from Trudeau's 6-day trip. Imagine powering a home from the early 1700s to today on just this trip's emissions.
Trudeau’s trip can be viewed as staggering hypocrisy in the face of his Liberal party’s climate action mandates and commitments to global targets to reduce emissions, and it can also be viewed as being reflective of a nonchalance underlying the reality that man-made climate change is nothing more than another fear-based control mechanism targeting and taxing citizens with fraudulent science and intergovernmental narratives to prey on their collective and well-meaning consciousness.
PHD biotech scientist, Dr. Simon Goddek, discussed the minimal impact of man’s role on climate change in an interview last year, “I think there is man-made climate change, but on a micro-level.” He concluded, “On a global level, I think we play…hardly any role.”

Climate: The Movie was recently released by director Martin Durkin for free on Vimeo. “The film that lifts the lid on the climate alarm, and the dark forces behind the climate consensus.”
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe tweeted that 70% of Canadians want Trudeau to scrap the carbon tax, and Andrew Scheer, former Conservative Party leader, just tweeted that
PM Trudeau got taxpayers to foot the $2M bill for his 6-day Indo-Pacific trip in September, including $200,000 for in-flight catering for him and his 52 fellow passengers aboard a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-150 Polaris.
Documents obtained through an access-to-information request show that the total cost of the trip is still unknown, as invoices and claims are still being processed.
What are your thoughts on Trudeau’s trip: staggering hypocrisy or climate change con?
*The Calculation of Trudeau’s 700-ton CO2 emission flight
To estimate the carbon emissions for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's trip using a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-150 Polaris aircraft and then compare those emissions to everyday activities by an average citizen, we'll go through a step-by-step calculation.
Step 1: Estimating Flight Distance
Destinations:
Ottawa, Canada to Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakarta, Indonesia to Singapore
Singapore to New Delhi, India
New Delhi, India to Ottawa, Canada
Flight Distances:
Ottawa to Jakarta: Approximately 14,000 kilometers
Jakarta to Singapore: Approximately 1,100 kilometers
Singapore to New Delhi: Approximately 4,200 kilometers
New Delhi to Ottawa: Approximately 12,000 kilometers
Total Distance: 14,000+1,100+4,200+12,000=31,30014,000+1,100+4,200+12,000=31,300 kilometers.
Step 2: Estimating Carbon Emissions
Aircraft Fuel Consumption and Emission Factor:
The CC-150 Polaris (Airbus A310) burns approximately 5.9 tons of fuel per hour of flight.
Average speed of a CC-150 is about 830 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, the fuel burn rate is 5.9 tons/hour÷830 km/hour=0.0071 tons/km5.9tons/hour÷830km/hour=0.0071tons/km.
CO2 emissions per ton of jet fuel burned are about 3.15 tons.
Calculating Fuel Burn:
Total fuel burned = 0.0071 tons/km×31,300 km=222.23 tons0.0071tons/km×31,300km=222.23tons.
Total CO2 Emissions:
Total emissions = 222.23 tons×3.15=700.02 tons of CO2222.23tons×3.15=700.02tons of CO2.
