Among zillionaire moonbats, competition is stiff to become the most conspicuous ecohypocrite of all. Leonardo DiCaprio may have been dethroned by Mark Zuckerberg.

Via Daily Mail:

The 41-year-old Meta boss, worth roughly $230 billion, has reportedly been burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel since launching his personal, 387-foot vessel last year.

The yacht, dubbed Launchpad, runs on four diesel engines that use about 291 gallons of fuel every hour, which allegedly emits 40 tons of CO₂ over that same period of time.

Meanwhile,

Zuckerberg, an outspoken advocate for climate change policies such as the Paris Agreement … has spent more than $100 million funding climate advocacy and related initiatives through his philanthropic organization.

In 9 months, Launchpad managed to burn over 528,000 gallons of diesel.

That usage amounted to more than 5,300 tons of carbon emissions being released by the one ship alone, the same as nearly 400 US households over one year.

Launchpad doesn’t sail alone:

The mega yacht has been accompanied on its journeys by a 220-foot, $30 million support ship called Wingman, which can carry smaller boats, a miniature submarine for exploration and even a helicopter.

The climate won’t mind. Zuckerberg can afford to buy lots of offsets.

‘Stopping climate change is something we can only do as a global community, and we have to act together before it’s too late,’ Zuckerberg said in 2017 while condemning President Trump’s decision to pull out of the [economically suicidal] Paris Climate Accord.

Zuckerberg’s supportive rhetoric probably goes a long way to make up for all his diesel fumes in the mind of the climate.
