The Academy Awards organizers say their goal is to be carbon neutral:

Anybody who pays attention to the lifestyles of many in Hollywood who like to sound the alarm about climate change and fossil fuels will be rolling their eyes at that claim.

But viewers can, as usual, expect to hear a lecture or two about climate change from eco-hypocrites.
