Felix Neureuther: Do as I say?

The charismatic and retired German alpine ski racer Felix Neureuther currently stated during the Munich ISPO ski trade show that, now that he’s become a dad and sees things differently, skiers should no longer train on glaciers in the summer in order to protect them along with the planet.

Unless the former champion is vegan, will never travel by plane, owns just one electric car and lives in a small, zero net carbon home, this would sounds hypocritical.

After training and competing his entire a life and flying all over the world, he now has the nerves suggest that it’s time to put a stop to all that nonsense.

It strikes me as developed countries telling India or Nigeria: “Stop driving gasoline powered cars!”

This statement is sadly symptomatic of our Western attitude towards global destruction, that is to admonish others to watch out for their waste while conveniently forgetting that we’ve been the number one polluters all along.

Unless we drastically cut our nefarious consumption and do something about overpopulation, we are securing our disappearance from this planet.

The later will finally breathe a sight o relief to see all of us out!
