    Wow

    If you can't see the hypocrisy of some would be politician campaigning on climate change not practicing what they preach, ie solar panels on their roof, not driving a big petrol guzzling SUV, probably the two primary tangible measures one can do to reduce their carbon footprint living in suburbia, then what is the point?

    It is about choices, if one advocates for something, one chooses either to act in a manner consistent with that cause, all good, or one doesn't, hypocrite....the plane analogy, I'm sorry is naive... Zali doesn't have a choice when she is flying , she want's to fly, she needs to take a jet or whatever aircraft is currently used to do the trip .... swimming, sailing , kayaking to the USA , nah, not really an option..... So no, I'm not advocating she refuses to fly .

    However, when it comes to what car she drives, or using the sun to provide a significant source of her domestic energy, she has a choice... you would think action on your carbon footprint starts at home, and if you are selling a line, you should set an example and follow your own scrip.

    Pretty simple really, but in some cases, obviously not.
