Believing in climate change, but not behaving sustainably: Evidence from a one-year longitudinal study

The same is true of our Climate Priesthood like Ozone Al Gore -- hobnobbing the globe in their private jets and limos, while we bike to work.

The whole thing is idiotic. Half of the carbon footprint of a car is made when it is built. Therefore, buying a Prius that gets 45 mpg is not 50% less footprint than a car that gets 22 mpg. Plus, if you are in a city that generates electricity from coal (very common) your source of generating electricity is not cleaner that burning gas. So if they are saying that people who believe in climate change should have a Prius, that is stupid. And, it is worse than that. The inefficient cars that "pollute" and are no longer legal in the US are not destroyed, those factories are shipped to the third world. This is why you can go to Mexico, Africa or Cuba and find cars that appear to be 40 years old, yet look brand new.

On the other hand if the person who believes in climate change sells the beach house and moves inland 200 miles, that is consistent with their belief.
