Back to the hypocritical coalface

I have just spent almost a week in the hospital and being released was like being let out of jail, amazing. Unfortunately i have to go back in next week for open heart surgery, sounds worse than it actually is, so I'm told...looking forward to the benefits not the procedure.
Been going through the backlog of political and societal commentary since I arrived home, and have been reading some very interesting stuff...i cannot help but reproduce this comment by Andrew Bolt on the green hypocrisy...green intellectuals (an oxymoron if ever there was one) are truly religious in their thinking.

Graeme Wood makes his billions by helping people to travel more, emitting God knows how much more greenhouse gases:

Four years ago, Mr Wood stepped back from executive duties at wotif, the online travel company he founded in 1999, but he remains a director and retains a 23 per cent stake, valued at $222 million based on yesterday’s share price of $4.63.

But he bankrolls a party campaigning against the very emissions his own customers belch out:

Wotif founder Graeme Wood, whose wealth is estimated at $372 million, gave $1.6 million to fund the Greens’ television advertising campaign, helping to significantly increase votes for the party in key states.

Incidentally, wasn’t Greens leader Bob Brown once against the super-rich using their wealth to influence politics? Why, yes:

This opposition is coming from some of the richest people in Australia… We are seeing a contest between plutocracy and democracy. - the power of billionaires versus the rights of 22 million other Australians.

Being Green means losing track of how many times you contradict yourself.
