As Glenn Reynolds is fond of saying, I don't want to hear one damned thing about my carbon footprint until those that complain about global climate change start behaving as if there really is a crisis.
The latest example being Derek Jeter of baseball fame. I'm not bothered as much about his issue advocacy as I am by the ostentatious home that he lives in. If carbon consumption really matters that much to him, then perhaps he ought to lead by example.
Sadly, hypocrites like Mr. Jeter do not lack for the company of like minded a similar acting individuals. Before we pass anything like a carbon tax on fuel, these folks need to move into a 3 or 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom ranch in the suburbs and abandon their more tony confines.
