Private Jets for Climate Change

[local 12 proud]

Dr John Barrett, from the Stockholm Environment Institute at the University of York, says: "There is a huge irony in flying halfway across the globe in a private jet, eating up fossil fuel.


"The idea that you can offset the pollution you cause is just ridiculous. What these people at Live Earth have done is defined their boundaries to suit themselves, but there is no sense in which this concert is carbon neutral.


"Planting trees or investing in renewable energy does not reverse the damage of releasing huge quantities of carbon dioxide into the environment.


"It is far better not to pollute in the first place. Carbon offsetting can be a removal of guilt, but it is not an effective one."


Live Earth is encouraging 'citizens of the world' to take small steps: share a car, plant a shrub, turn off a light or hang out washing rather than use a dryer.


But Dr Barrett says: "It would be far better for these celebrities to stay at home. Holding large concerts to highlight environmental concerns and cut carbon emissions just seems ridiculous. What planet do these people live on?"

People should not go after her over the fact that she drives around in a Maybach while talking about the enviornment. They shoud be after her over that fact that after all these years her music still sucks.

I'd burn an entire supertanker of carbon to see that.
