Star hypocrites and their private jets

Oprah Winfrey is very concerned about global warming:
Oprah gets a pal onto her show to preach about saving the planet:
Former Vice President Al Gore delivers the sobering news about a threat to our civilization’s future.
Oprah suggests he show folks how to save the planet in one little trip:
Take a trip to the hardware store with Al Gore to see what you can do to stop global warming.

But when Oprah makes her own little trip, all that global warming preaching is suddenly forgotten as she climbs up the stairs to her private Bombardier. Said she this week:
It’s great to have a private jet. Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn’t great is lying to you.
Former US vice-president and recent environmental celebrity Al Gore has topped the list of most influential people to champion the cause of global warming in a 47-country Internet survey conducted by The Nielsen Company and Oxford University.
 
Over a quarter of Australian consumers (28%) picked Al Gore as the most influential spokesperson to champion the global warming debate (compared to 18% globally), ahead of talk show megastar Oprah Winfrey (23%) and PR stuntman Richard Branson (20%).

Oh, and Sir Richard Brazen’s latest effort for the global warming cause?
Australia’s most famous environmentalist, Tim Flannery, has lent his name to a scheme by the world’s most infamous self-publicist, Richard Branson, to burn untold tonnes of greenhouse gases so rich people can become space tourists. Flannery yesterday defended his new role as an “environmental consultant” to Branson’s Virgin Galactic venture, which aims to sell space trips to civilians.
Truly, global warming is the first major religion to be led entirely by shameless sinners, attended by assorted hypocrites and carpetbaggers.
