No, it's not. You're just excusing hypocritical behavior because of your own bias.

It is not hypocritical, because I do not expect others to behave in a way I do not.

For example, I want fossil fuels to be drastically costlier to force everyone to use smaller vehicles and live in denser communities enabling public transit.

But I do not want other individuals to have to do that while I do not. I am willing to make the sacrifices if everyone will, but if everyone is not going to, then I have a hard time seeing why I should.
