Climate change activists alert the world of the effects of having a high carbon footprint. However, one only needs to look at these activists and realize how hypocritical they really are in their own lives. Take for example Greta Thunberg. She talks about climate change and yet uses a plane, lives in a house, consumes electricity, produces waste, celebrates xmas, lights up a tree, receives gifts that use wrapping paper, while complaining on the world stage as how everyone has ruined her childhood. And, all her supporting crew had to be just as hypocritical in building their own carbon footprint just to enable her to travel via a zero-emissions sailboat and jet set around the world, provide for freeze dried meals that use plastic wrapping, the use of train, and the amount of water needed to grow cotton for t-shirts. Most climate change activists can't live without electronics and internet. She even seems to have a social media presence. One generally has to use the internet to be active on social media. According to estimates, all the gadgets, the internet, and systems we use today equate to 3.7% of the global greenhouse emissions. And, when one looks at it in realistic terms, her complete carbon footprint is greater than an average individual on the planet. And, in the time that she has taken center stage, has she provided any quantifiable and qualitative evidence with a set of constructive solutions? During conferences and summits one can see her ranting to the audience but passing on technical questions for other people to answer. Is this an indication of her being totally out of touch with reality? People that posture and rant to others while not practicing what they preach makes them rather hypocritical as they appear to have lived in a very protected environment of self-entitlement and don't seem to understand the complex social constructs and the global dynamics of the world.
