David Suzuki might not be perfect, but he has spent a whole lifetime in trying to improve the environment. The odd time he doesnt live 100% according to his beliefs, we are supposed to throw out every thing he's ever said? That's BS.
I won't dismiss Suzuki to a large degree, I've met the guy once after he interviewed my boss. In person, he seemed pretty moderate and accepting of conservatives genuinely involving themselves in the environmental debate. I do believe that he wants good change to happen and has personally involved himself to lower his impact upon his environment.

However, in public he has tended to use very polarizing language when talking about policy alternatives.
