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!
Well honestly they are BOUND to be polluting more than the average person. They have much larger homes, they DO go across country and across continents much more than other folks.

The may not pollute more than other who would have to do the same thing but when I hear streisand talking about hanging laundry...I cry hypocrisy.
