The new word of the day is ...

Greenwash

A conspicuously promulgated environmental-friendly label put upon an otherwise (dogmatic) environmental-unfriendly product.

As in:

- Detroit has greenwashed their new SUV by adding a Hybrid option.

- Al Gore has greenwashed his large jet by burning 'biofuel.'

- Coffee houses greenwash their disposable cups by adding a "Compostable" label.

- Al Gore greenwashes his giant energy-sucking compound thru supposed buying of "carbon credits' . .which he also sells and controls.

source; usage in this article: Paul McCartney 'horrified' as his eco car is flown 7,000 miles from Japan

. .it just struck me as a great word for these times.

Brownwashed, to indicate obfuscation by means of bullsheet?

Did Island just greenwash PPOT?

Is that the same Al Gore who invented the internet?
