Climate Change Hypocrisy

The recent COP26 UN Climate Conference in Glasgow, Scotland was another display of hypocrisy by the elites who want to tell everyone what they must do, but of course they will always be above following such limitations.

So what? You are missing the point. The climate crises is real and imminent. Everyone is going to have to change their lifestyle in a significant way. I agree that the very wealthy and powerful are hypocrites, but that doesn’t change reality, nor is it an excuse to ignore it.

Would you be happy if they followed their own directions?
In the human recorded irradiation atmospheric past. Bovines were notified crop eaters were phenomena attacked.

Organs missing blood gone as science evidence. Fallout attack.

So cows were given a God status don't eat them.

Today your conscious idealism methane gas release was always the mysterious devils triangle or Jerusalem ground release history.

God releases the mass attack itself. Earth.

We live "farting" as biology in water oxygenation by holy trees. Our biological carbon dealt with by trees.

Stop burning the forests should be the first law passed. If it infringes on food growing supplement that country.

Get everyone replanting to establish forestry. Holy tree of life is the human teaching.

In deserts put your water into replanting yourselves as historic science in desert countries had Idealised self safe as God had already destroyed and cooled earth mass.

Into a desert.

Proven wrong. Your forests you owned were ancient nuked out of existence. So replant it. Put your money where your mouth is the saying.

Technologies should only be allowed to use natural forces earth produces itself. To live a human reality best choice.

I am not missing the point. Nor do I deny that the climate changes or that humans abuse the planet. But the fact is that if the elites who seek to impose restrictions on everyone else while they carry on with their humongous carbon footprints, will not help with the issue. The impact of the average person is minuscule compared to the globalists, the corporate entities they control and the damage they are creating. Obviously, they don’t truly believe their own fear-mongering narrative about climate change, if they can’t even live according to what they’re saying.

Are Christians occasionally hypocritical despite being sincere about what they preach and push?
Yes, that doesn’t make it alright. And there are plenty who profess to be Christians who aren’t sincere, but frauds or hypocrites. A real Christian will sense conviction by the Holy Spirit, repent, and live their life according to the biblical truths they claim to believe.

It can be very hard for leaders of countries not to make a huge carbon footprint. Assassination is a real threat for many leaders, from people both within their country and outside of it. As a result strong security measures are needed and that will result in a significant carbon footprint.

So who is worse, a person like Trump that either lies or is brain dead when he denies AGW and makes a huge footprint no matter what. Or someone like Biden that does accept the fact of AGW, but has to make a large footprint when going to conferences to deal with this problem? I will take the latter.

It certainly doesn't make it right, that's true.

The point is that despite their hypocrisy, they still genuinely believe what they sell.

Similarly, people often sincerely understand the need to reduce GHGs while doing things in their own life that contribute to the problem.

See the parallel?

So what you are saying is that two wrongs make a right? It’s okay for everyone to keep wrecking the planet since the global elites keep doing it anyway.

Your posts come across as not believing in Climate Change (capital C). I’m afraid Climate Change isn’t really a religious matter though. It’s a fact. It sort of doesn’t give a crap about what you believe. Kind of like Covid. Viruses are going to virus. And Climate Change is going to keep progressing. And you can ***** about the little global leaders are doing but those little changes add up big over time. In 1800 about 70 percent of the world lived in dirt floor poverty, subsistence farming. Now that number is closer to 6 percent. An improvement of around 64 percent. Child mortality rates used to be around 25-30 percent. Now we are looking at under 5. Those kind of changes add up over time. Yeah global leaders and elites are hypocritical as hell. But so are normal people all the time. We all have to do our part and we can call attention and shame the leaders into being a little less hypocritical but two wrongs don’t make a right. Even the Taliban, poor chiefs in Africa and remote corners of Siberia know that Climate Change is real. The global consensus on climate change has jumped from 95 percent 15 years ago to 99.9 percent now. If they know it’s real and something needs to be done as do ALL the experts keeping track of this data around the world, nobody else has any kind of excuse for dismissing it especially for such a wah wah reason of something as human nature based as universal hypocrisy. Hypocrisy exists but if we even make 50 percent more effort than what we have been and are still hypocrites half the time, progress will come. It all helps mitigate some of the effects. At this point we are in for a rough ride anyway but maybe we can slow it down enough to allow us to plan a little more for how to deal with it.

My goodness, does pointing out the hypocrisy of religious leaders mean that God isn't real? Didn't Jesus say, "So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach."

Likewise, this is a real problem, not to be denied or made light of. Whatever they say to do, do. But don't do as they do. If you wish to be a true steward of God, then you should love his Creation as much as you claim to love his Son. Think about this. The world and its systems hated God and killed his Incarnation, and it likewise hates his Creation and is seeking to kill it as well. They cannot bear the Divine. Aren't you supposed to be the salt of the earth, and not its judge? What are you doing to preserve it?

Where's the Good News about doing are part as responsible stewards of this planet? All Christians should be avid environmentalists. Why are the siding with the world instead?

The supposed hypocrisy in leaders neither confirms nor refutes a God. The problem is that the OP could not find any real examples of hypocrisy.

Well, technically that is true. It is a bit of a straining at gnats, but the point does remain. Even if they are hypocrites, that doesn't mean we shouldn't do the right things that all the experts are saying we need to do if we want to keep the planet livable of the next generations of humans. There is no excuse for our lack of action.

Wagging our fingers at the leaders not doing what they preach, does not mean we shouldn't do what they are saying, because what they are saying is correct. Jesus made that same point about the religious leadership. Their hypocrisies, doesn't excuse us if what they are saying is correct. And we know it is correct.

Yes. Within reason. But sometimes more can be accomplished by meeting in person than talking on line. That is why they still have conferences. I do not see any real problem with the conferences going on right now.

Certainly I see the parallel, but I also see the huge problem of those in power making rules for everyone, from which they are exempt...kind of like abusive churches, but on a national and global scale.

What are you talking about? I personally think we are to be stewards of the earth and definitely don’t side with the world system of destroying the earth.

I don’t necessarily see a problem with conferences, it’s the elitist mentality that is wrong. So everyone else is supposed to aim toward eating pseudo, manufactured meat instead of actual meat ( which will bring new profits to those invested in such companies), but those pushing these policies can’t even live by example at their climate conferences. Or how about jet pooling or flying commercial, rather than flying hundreds of individual private jets to the conference?

And I’ll take neither.

If those in power and position really cared about the environment, there’s plenty of positive steps they could take and lead by example.
