The Eco-Hypocrisy Hall of Fame is about to get another nominee, and it might have to be expanded to accommodate the induction of another Hollywood actor:

One from the “you couldn’t make it up” department — Emma Thompson flew over 5,000 miles from LA to participate in the climate change protest in London. https://t.co/8Bh475kdTt

Attn. AOC! This kind of hypocrisy has to have driven the 12-year deadline down below 10 years in an instant:
Incredible. Emma Thompson flew from LA to London to join a protest about climate change sponsored by a group that argues air travel should be restricted to emergencies.
These are not serious people. https://t.co/H4RmwgzVBf

People would take the alarmism a lot more serious if ANY of these people behaved as if they actually believed the things they say.

Isn’t that special?
The Oscar-winning actress flew back to London from LA to support the eco-warriors plotting to take down Heathrow today.

She added: “I am so proud and thrilled to be part of Extinction Rebellion, a new movement that has come up behind all the old ones that I’ve been part of since I was 16 years old.“A movement that’s telling it like it is and saying to government ‘look, there’s no more time. You can’t lie and you can’t stall any longer’.”
This is the best part:
The Extinction Rebellion group are calling for flights only to be used in emergencies.
It must depend on what your definition of “emergency” is.
self aware much ???

Without a doubt.
It's an emergency! They need publicity.

Bonus: Thompson called the other side the hypocrites:
“Our governments have signed up to accords that have agreed to try to clean up our energy use up and have completely ignored them. Who in fact is the hypocrite?“

There is in fact some hypocrisy here, and it’s “first class”:

Yeah, we’re pretty much speechless too at this point.
Someone who flew in on a fuel-guzzling plane to make this statement? https://t.co/mDgaHh62Et
