We Are Living in a Climate Emergency, and We’re Going to Say So

They do, and if I'm going on about how horrible meat is, how awful cattle farming and hog farming is, while munching away on a bacon double cheeseburger, it's entirely reasonable for other people to ignore everything I say. I may be entirely correct in every aspect, but if I don't care about something I'm saying to at least try to live aspects of it out in my life, other people are free to determine I really don't care about it in the slightest - and they'd probably be right.

I think it’s called “practice what you preach”.

No one cares for the sound and fury of the idiotic hypocrite.

Indeed. And such sound and fury is wonderfully on display just about every time some celebrity goes on about what everyone else must do to save the planet, them, of course, being able to continue doing the good work from their private jet and mansion in the foothills.

Like Thunberg or not, at least she's very evidently trying, as well as she's able, to practice what she preaches.

Greta is great. Can only respect her actual commitment to a cause she is so passionate about. She’s real and truthful.

If the millions of narcissists that can only manage to tell others how idiotic they are could commit in the same way, they’d maybe actually see the change they want as they’d be an inspiration to others.

Rules for thee but not for me.
