I can't believe that Algore isn't more sensitive about the environment. Oh streisand and the rest of the crowd. Let's make sure we all get down to 9 tons so that the environmental crowd can get a few more frequent flyer miles.

MORE: Some greenhouse perspective:

The typical American is responsible for 10 tons of CO2 emissions annually through their direct energy use of home, cars and air travel, and about 24 tons of CO2 including their purchases, activities and the other services we all share throughout the economy.

By comparison, a Gulf Stream III business jet (10-12 passenger) from New York to Los Angeles will emit around 31 tons of CO2 during the 6 hour flight.
