There is a wonderful predictability about the smug political left. Its members always want you to do as they say – not as they do (controlling the world is what lefties think they do best after all). The Guardian is as good a place as any to find such socially progressive hypocrisy. A recent podcast released by the paper contains a remarkable conversation about the evils of fossil fuel between editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger and some adoring acolytes. See the excerpt below as they attempt to grapple with the question of what happens when the Guardian's quest to drive other companies to divest themselves of oil company investments – all in the name of saving the planet – meets the harsh reality that they too are guilty of holding the same financial interests.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_guardian.jpg
