I'd say it is hypocritical. After all, what he's asking - demand governments enforce even - is that we all consume less but he himself does not. It's like buying indulgences. Doesn't undo the sin, just makes you feel better about it.
Incidentally, nor does he donate a penny of the hundreds of thousands he gets for each speaking engagement to the cause he's supposedly promoting.
