Climate

Hypocrisy is not limited to politicians. There's about 750,000 people living in Minneapolis/St Paul and around these cities are 189 municipalities where another 2 million live. Half of these people live 30 minutes or more from downtown. These are the suburbanites who have large houses on large lots. They have more than an acre of grass with underground sprinklers. They spread poison to kill grubs so the moles can't spoil the lawn. The spray week killers and fertilizers that ends up in the ground water. They use riding mowers, edgers, tree trimmers and leaf blowers to keep things looking like a picture book yard. American lawns are now the single largest crop. Lawns suck up gas and pollute the air. Add to that the fun vehicles like speed boats and snowmobiles and throw in the myriad of household chemicals and these homeowners become major polluters. These are often times the people who express concern about climate change.
