Or my all time favorite is the Google Climate Change summit as the peak of hypocrisy:

- ZeroGravitas 5y agoIsn't that the exact opposite? You're trying to pull the "carbon footprint" nonsense on those politicians, while they do the only thing that will actually help (introduce global legislation). Most people that harp on about this seem to be climate change deniers as otherwise the "hypocrisy" doesn't really exist. It's about as hypocritical as driving a car with leaded gasoline to a vote to phase out leaded gasoline. Voting on the regulation is infinitely more impactful, both for or against, than any private car usage avoided.

That discussion is off table: As the world’s biggest polluter, our armed forces create 750,000 tons of toxic waste every year in the form of depleted uranium, oil, jet fuels, pesticides, defoliants, lead and other chemicals https://weaversway.coop/shuttle-online/2020/04/us-military-world-leader-pollution-and-wasteful-use-fossil-fuel https://weaversway.coop/shuttle-online/2020/04/us-military-w...
