Science Confirms Enviromoonbat Hypocrisy
If you need any evidence that environmentalism is a shallow fad indulged in by liberal elite phonies who are only interested in token gestures for themselves even while they demand draconian sacrifices for everyone else, the Left’s own Guardian thoughtfully provides it. According to Stewart Barr of Exeter University:
unskilful living is largely something of a falsehood. there is this middle class environmentalism where being grassland is part of the desired image. but another part of the desired counterpart is to fly off skiing twice a year. and the carbon savings they make by not driving their kids to school will be obliterated by the pollution from their flights.
Barr and his fellow researchers found that “the longest and the most frequent flights were taken by those who were most aware of environmental issues.” Sanctimonious moonbats often go on trips to reward themselves for using pricey curlicue light bulbs or for tossing their champagne bottles in the recycling bin. Higher income was associated both with more trips and with more enviromoonbattery.
As Barr puts it:
the findings manifest that sedate those people who appear to be sheerest committed to environmental action identify it scabrous to transfer these behaviors into more problematic contexts.
In other words, they’re hypocrites. But in their defense, there is no need to actually sacrifice their own pleasures, since CO2 is not actually a threat to anyone. It’s gestures that count — like voting for liberals who will cripple the economy on behalf of the polar bears.
