How far is it from NY to LA? 3000 miles? Most people are gonna be driving between 6-8 times that far in their personal vehicle each year.

does the 10 in a year include an average use of jets? or an average use of cars without any use of jets? who knows?
my point is if you want to criticize al gore or barbra streisand go ahead, but the suggestion above is they are polluting MORE than everyone else. so, let's really see if they are....compare what flying in a personal jet is to what they would otherwise do to journey cross country.
comparing the emissions of a jet to an average americans amount of emissions doesn't tell us anything.
you gotta give that writer their due, in one single piece they attempted to paint al gore and streisand not only elitist but also hypocritical. a twofer!
