Hypocrisy has always been the death of credibility. Nothing erodes trust faster than watching those who preach sacrifice indulge in extravagance.
The climate movement isn’t collapsing because people doubt the science—it’s collapsing because the loudest voices live like emperors while scolding workers for using gas stoves. Private jets, mega-yachts, beachfront estates—these aren’t outliers; they’re status symbols for those claiming moral authority. The public has noticed. The backlash isn’t against the planet—it’s against the performance.
This is a long-overdue course correction. If climate leadership is ever going to matter again, it must begin with personal example, not platitudes from the tarmac.
