Formula 1 champ Lewis Hamilton flies 200 times/yr by private jet, goes vegan to save the planet, then lectures leaders who “don’t care about the environment” – is climate dialogue possible when no one considers that crazy?
It seems inevitable that we are headed for some sort of serious conflict here in the west with regards to climate change.
