Richard Branson's son demonstrates his lack of belief in global warming catastrophe

From this New York Times article:

SAM BRANSON, the 22-year-old musician, sometime male model, friend of Princes William and Harry and son of the Virgin Group billionaire Richard Branson, was on familiar turf: ordering Kobe beef tartare at Ono, an elegant Japanese restaurant in the meatpacking district.
...
“It’s like the Ice Age,” Mr. Steger said. “Very quiet, very peaceful.” (Except when polar bears are kept at bay with explosive charges.)
...
Mr. Branson’s life couldn’t be more different from that of his dinner companions. Mr. Steger and Ms. Ekran both live in the woods in cabins without electricity — Mr. Steger in northern Minnesota, Ms. Ekran in the Yukon — while Mr. Branson divides his time among London, New York, Los Angeles and Necker Island, his family’s private island in the Caribbean, whose name he has tattooed in Sanskrit on his forearm.

1. If you're serious about lowering your "carbon footprint", is Kobe beef really an appropriate food choice?:

[KOH-bee] An exclusive grade of beef from cattle raised in Kobe, Japan. These pampered cattle are massaged with sake and fed a special diet that includes plentiful amounts of beer. This specialized treatment results in beef that is extraordinarily tender and full-flavored. It also makes the beef extravagantly expensive, which is why it's rarely available in the United States.

2. About using explosive charges near polar bears--are we talking about the ones that are allegedly under "unprecedented environmental stress" because of global warming? Are we talking about using explosives to scare mother polar bears, who haven't eaten since last fall, and who are just emerging from dens with their fluffy, innocent, sad-eyed cubs?

3. If you truly cared about carbon dioxide emissions, would you be "dividing your time" between London, New York, Los Angeles, and some private island in the Caribbean?
