This doesn’t bother me as much as it seems to bother others. I guess I just never got into the “only people who never do something wrong can advocate against wrongdoing” mindset.

Is it hypocritical? Sure, though I expect he has lots of reasons why it’s not. But is it better than not even giving lip service to the issue? Sure it is. But the fact that action isn’t good enough doesn’t mean it’s bad.

No, it is bad. He's basically saying "you peasants should give up the little you have so that we can save the planet without me having to give up anything".

Would it be better if he just shut up and flew his private jet? That is, would it do less harm to the environment?
