Some wonder why I constantly and consistently talk about Warmists not practicing what they preach. This is why

From the article
The world’s rich and famous have flocked to a posh Italian resort to talk about saving Mother Earth — but they sure are punishing her in the process.
The billionaire creators of Google have invited a who’s who of A-list names— including former President Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry — to the Sicilian seaside for a mega-party they’ve dubbed Google Camp.
The three-day event will focus on fighting climate change — though it’s unknown how much time the attendees will spend discussing their own effect on the environment, such as the scores of private jets they arrived in and the mega yachts many have been staying on. (snip)
Many of the guests, including Obama and DiCaprio — who has his own climate change foundation — have described global warming as the biggest threat to future generations.
But according to Italian press reports, the attendees were expected to show up in 114 private jets, and 40 had arrived by Sunday.
The Post crunched the numbers and found that 114 flights from Los Angeles to Palermo, Italy, where Camp guests landed, would spew an estimated 100,000 kilograms of CO2 into the air. (snip)
Stars there also include Harry Styles, Orlando Bloom, Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller, who arrived on their enormous $200 million yacht Eos, which has both sails and two 2,300-horsepower diesel engines.
Billionaire Dreamworks founder David Geffen, meanwhile, gave Perry and Bloom a ride on his $400 million yacht, Rising Sun.
Also on hand for the environmental gabfest was the megayacht Andromeda, a 351-foot behemoth owned by a New Zealand billionaire and which features its own helipad.
Many of the attendees were seen in photos tooling around the island in high-speed sports vehicles, including Perry, who has made videos for UNICEF about climate change and was seen in a Maserati SUV that gets about 15 mpg city.
These people have no problem (or shame) demanding that Government regulate how you live your life, but, they won’t modify their own big carbon footprint lives. They won’t even pretend.
Ya know, I’m not a poor guy. I’ve worked hard all my life in a very demanding industry so I would obtain the wherewithal to enjoy my golden years. I have a nice house, about 4000 SF, in ground pool, grotto, decks, trees etc. Hell, I even have heated floors to keep the tootsies warm in winter. We have a three car temperature controlled garage and own three cars, a 2019 Audi Q5, a 2015 Lincoln MKT and my wife has her beloved Bentley Mulsanne which she swears is her “last” car. We’ll see about that. Yet I cannot even imagine being so totally self unaware and being a billionaire Google whore wasting energy and spewing pollution all over while lecturing everyone else about some goofy climate hoax.
Every one of these hypocrites is a leftist Democrat and not one is offering to clean up the rat INFESTED mess in Baltimore yet they have time to party on yachts in Italy. Hello! Can anybody here see the unmitigated evil of these self absorbed super rich self indulged communist thugs? Democrats one and all and they have the unmitigated gall to look down on us and call us “Deplorable” or “Raaaaacist”. Wow! The DemComs are nothing any more but a party of selfish, evil morally bankrupt pigs. They are the caricature of the greedy capitalist yet they are all philosophical communists. Go figure. And they wonder why we say they “project”.

I sometimes wonder what might be accomplished if all these people used their wealth to do something actually useful (irrigate the deserts, create fresh water, bring the internet to poor neighborhoods, eradicate measles). They only attach themselves to the warming thing because it is the flavor of the month for them. But they need to believe they are saving the world, even though all they are doing is “talking about saving the world”.
