Global warming's slap-in-the-face hypocrites

Global warming's slap-in-the-face hypocrites

Environmental advocates have endorsed carbon neutrality; they purchase carbon offsets to neutralize their impact on fossil fuel consumption and therefore global warming. But why the half-step? Why not try for a negative carbon footprint? Don't use any hydrocarbons and buy the offsets.
...
Even the godfather of global warming is financially involved in a cable TV network. A network is a global warming contributor any way you look at it. If the network is successful, millions of people will have their TVs on for hours watching its shows, which means some gas-belching power plant somewhere will have railroad cars full of coal shoveled into it like an engineer shoveling coal into a steaming locomotive. He, of all people, didn't even choose a carbon neutral occupation, yet we're supposed to give up drive-thru windows to reduce fuel consumption? Please.

There are no contradictions. There are only two possible reasons for this behavior: either they don't really believe in global warming and this is all window dressing, or they think that they are above having to sacrifice to stop it, but we should be forced to. Either way, they are slap-in-the-face hypocrites.
