This is not only hypocritical but can only have a negative effect on encouraging people to change their lifestyle and reduce carbon emissions. So the point is if celebs wish to encourage people to reduce carbon emissions and help the environment make sure they reduce their own first. Otherwise it will have the opposite effect.

I hope the spirits of the dead animals come back to haunt them for wearing the furs which the animal was skinned alive for not to damage the coats. Have you ever seen a caged wild white fox skinned alive from head to toe left shaking in pain and anxiety on the earth looking up at its keeper? And they suffer from chronic back pain for the weight of carrying those $5000.00 IT bags they cant be seen without which the cost could have helped save a life. Celebrity endorsements are at the pinnacle of hypocrisy.
