I think you misunderstood my point. Hypocrites are liars, deceivers, manipulators, immoral and unethical among other things.

If the people calling for changes in society related to climate change are of this ilk/type/caliber, then there is no way anything will ever change ethically.

Though, it could be done through propaganda, deceit and force. In other words, tyranny.

Or, end the hypocrisy and lead by example. Everything else is hand waving and rhetoric or worse.

You've proven yourself incapable of identifying hypocrisy, in part because of your strange denial of the existence of collective action problems, but you're also flattering yourself if you think hypocrisy is anything other than a universal human trait.

This is all silly. If you're in a debate, debate the issues, don't attack the character of your opponent. If you're a citizen evaluating or advocating for or against a policy position, debate the pros and cons of the policy. What you are so fixated on is a weird non-issue.

My argument is about hypocrisy, why do you think I should change my argument simply because you think it's wrong? This seems almost silly.

Hypocrisy is a character issue and I think I have hypocrisy's definition correct. If you are honest/moral/ethical, can you be a hypocrite? I don't think so, hypocrisy at it's core is dishonest. Therefore if you practice hypocrisy, you are a liar. Seems like a logical conclusion.
