An Inconvenient Truth

Something has been bothering me about people who promote the idea that humans are causing climate change that will destroy the ecosystem of earth. These people fly around and give talks about how the actions of humans are destroying the planet. I have finally figured out what was bothering me. These people are flying around discussing how we are destroying the planet by burning too much fossil fuels. The are flying around. They are flying. Flying uses the most fossil fuel per kilometer travelled. That is what is bothering me. They are saying the most import issue is climate change and how we are causing that by burning fossil fuels but they travel using a machine that is the most inefficient with respect to fossil fuels. If the people who are saying we should reduce fossil fuels cannot reduce their consumption of fossil fuels because it is inconvenient why should we? I think people who promote the idea that we are destroying the planet by burning too much fossil fuels should pledge to never fly again and instead use teleprescence. Otherwise there claims cannot be respected. They cannot be thought leaders without be action leaders.
