[Opinionated Blowhard]

The commonest current excuse is this: “I bet those protesters have phones/go on holiday/wear leather shoes.” In other words, we won’t listen to anyone who is not living naked in a barrel

As repulsive as the image is, I wouldn't listen to you even if you were living naked in a barrel, George.

Note how he immediately tries to defend rank hypocrites in Hollywood and the political class who push this crap while flying in private jets, riding in limos and living in palatial seaside mansions that burn 30-40X the energy of the average American home.

Another lame attempt to excuse the blatant hypocrisy is “oh it’s OK when I do it see....I bought a bunch of carbon credits”.....or as I call them, the selling of Green Indulgences by the church of Gaia.
