It's Not The Message, It's The Hypocrisy

So this is German F1 driver Sebastian Vettel arriving in Montreal for this weekend's F1 race....



...sporting, well you can read it, an anti Oil Sands T-shirt.

"STOP mining tar sands.  Canada's Climate Crime."

This from a guy who will be burning almost two litres of fuel every lap around the track.  These celebs' hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Another commentator said, Right about now I'll bet there are a lot of Germans who secretly wish they were importing oil from a democratic, human-rights observing ally like Alberta rather than arch enemy and world pariah Russia.

Another said, this from the country that shut down all their nuclear plants to go renewable, only to have to import oil and gas from Russia.  And when that wasn't enough, start burning coal again.

They are the fourth largest consumers of coal in the world!



And I see he is sponsored by Aramco.  The Saudi Arabian national oil company.  That bastion of human rights, women's rights and LBGTQ rights. 

So save us the lectures, bub.
