>> every weekend booktv offers program focused on non-pictures authors and books. keep watching for more here on c-span2 and watch any of our past programs online at booktv.org. spin i'll give an example in the book about this guy who is heading greek and -- greenpeace and your. so he's all about wanting to reduce co2 emissions but it turns out that in all of the greenpeace shows that he is flying from his home over the think it's luxembourg, a couple of times a month and the output of co2 that he's extended because of his jet travel is like 100 times that of the average person. and so when confronted about it, it was his answer. he said well the train trip would take 12 hours and that would be time away from my family and a whole lot of time

that it wouldn't be working. in other words, because it's not very efficient. and i'm thinking, well, gee isn't that what most of us like what here's the point if you're going to be an environmentalist and you say that it is horrible to emit co2 then live like it. and i use the example, glenn reynolds of instapundit who is a great blogger makes the statement about environmentalist but she said i will believe it is his problem with the people who say it's a serious problem act like it's a serious problem. now, kudos to people like ed begley junior and daryl hannah because they are environmentalists who actually practice it and live it. i've read about ed begley is very very spartan life his small footprint of energy output icky doesn't fly very often, once in a while he may make a bicoastal trip but i respect that. whether i agree with it or not

to me if you have a conviction then just live it out but if it's authentic, we will see it in you. if it's not then don't tell me how to live. dolby al gore and say that the oceans are about to overtake the coast and then build a 20,000-foot home right there on the coast. ..
