Bill Gates has been accused of hypocrisy after entering a bid to buy the world's largest private jet operator, just one month before he releases a book preaching about climate change.

The Microsoft boss's company Cascade Investment entered the bidding war for Signature Aviation Friday, teaming up with Blackstone Group to make a $4.3 billion play for the British private jet servicing company.

Cascade and Blackstone are now going head-to-head with private equity firm Carlyle, which had already made an initial takeover approach.

I think that it was P.J. O'Rourke who commented that Bill and Hillary Clinton weren't really hypocrites because hypocrites actually know the difference between Right and Wrong.

This story reminded me of that quip.

Bill Gates surely has a “carbon footprint” that’s 10,000 times bigger than mine. Yet he demands that *I* walk to work,that *I* set my thermostat at 61 in January and 79 in July and that *I* vacation in my back yard rather than fly coach to a vacation in Florida.

To be sure, he is an UNINFOMRED hypocritic when it comes to CO2 emissions and aviation.

However, and I bet he doesn’t know the basics, aviation accounts only for roughly 6.5% of all CO2 emissions world-wide.

I bet he thinks aviation just belches pollution everywhere.
