- lm28469 7y agoWhat are you trying to imply ? It's not like one person faults/hypocrisy somehow invalidate science.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoI was pointing out that Time selected someone who had such faults and hypocrisy. She's in good company with MLK, Clinton, Hitler, Stalin, Krushchev, and Khomeini.

- duelingjello 7y agoI don't think it was shame but a photo-op / statement-through-deed that big changes need to happen. However, individual-level veganism, recycling and eco transport isn't the whole solution. We need a holistic approach and top-down leadership integrity to make difficult changes to arrive at overall rapid, net negative global CO2 for the foreseeable future. If we don't, I better sneak into Zuck's NZ prepper bunker and hide in the pantry.
