Avoiding being a hypocrite is not ignoring anything. It's if you think carbon emissions are bad, maybe you shouldn't hop on a private plane every week to tell people about it on another continent. Maybe you could do it using such modern marvels as video and internet, or at least use commercial air travel which would spend almost the same amount of energy to carry 300 people as was previously spent carrying just you and your personal chef (you can't propose one could travel without personal chef, right?!). I get when some TV talking head is worried about environment. Good for them. But before lecturing my on my carbon footprint, maybe they could take at least some effort to deal with theirs, which is probably like 100x bigger than mine, and unlike me giving up my car (which would make me almost unemployable and unable to get food or basic goods in many places in US) reducing it to 50x would not cost them anything but a slight inconvenience. After they do that, maybe I will believe they are serious and not just fashionably posturing.
