... and flying in leaders to "aplogize."

It's absurd.

I wrote this in another post:

Without first world extremes of wealth and cluelessness Greenpeace would not exist.

The Sierra Club and public broadcasting have similar problems.

The people who have money to donate to these causes generally drive to work, fly to vacation destinations, heat and cool their large homes with fossil fuels, and are generally unable to imagine what environmentally sustainable lifestyles would look like.

Hint: It's not a "first world" lifestyle with solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars, and organic food markets. The math of that simply doesn't work.
