Not really. When push comes to shove, very few people are willing to take what it requires to execute the massive cut in GHG emissions that some say are needed.
Of course, if Ed had went on a global warming rant during the show, I'm sure half of the people would say he's a hypocrite and the other half would say that his speech justifies all those buses....

Buying carbon offsets, the enviro crowds equaivalent of the Catholic Church's buying of indulgences. I'm pretty sure when the Catholic Church has found an idea to be stupid and got rid of it that the enviro crowd should have been smarter than adopt it as standard practice.
I just love the moral high horse attitude of "I love the environment but not actually enough to change my habits. But lordy I am rich enough to pay others to change on my behalf."

so pearl jam should walk the US when they tour? the money they make from efficiently touring helps a lot of causes. they are not in direct contrast of their beliefs.

I'm more referring to the private planes Eddie and crew regularly take - not their tour buses.
