Reference : Many climate activists choose to fly in aircraft . Sky News suggested that such hypocrisy proves they are wrong about climate change .
Dear Peta ,
Just like you Peta , I am angered by hypocrisy . It all started when I was a schoolboy . My Uncle Phideas constantly warned me of the dangers of smoking , yet he chuffed more cigars than Winston Churchill . What a hypocrit , I thought . Phideas was something of an intellectual , possibly because he felt an obligation to live up to his classical Greek name, but I never believed a word he said once I realized he was a blatant hypocrite . When he tried to warn me about smoking , I would laugh at him .
Sadly Phideas died in his fifties of lung cancer , and sometimes I regret that I had not treated him with more respect while he was alive .
And Peta , I often wonder whether what Phideas said was a deliberate lie , or whether he was simply deluded .
I guess we will never know, but either way his warnings were still ridiculous .
Your comrade , Ken
