Reported:
President Barack Obama may warn that carbon dioxide is causing global warming, but his flight to Paris to join other world leaders at the United Nations climate summit emitted more CO2 than driving 72 cars for a year.
Obama’s Paris jaunt will send more CO2 into the atmosphere than 31 American homes‘ energy usage for an entire year. The president’s trip is equivalent to burning 368,331 pounds of coal or 797 barrels of oil, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s carbon footprint calculator.
Just one leg of the president’s Sunday trip to Paris emitted 189 tons of CO2 after travelling 3,855 miles and burning 19,275 gallons of jet fuel, according to Daily Caller News Foundation calculations based on past presidential flights. Obama’s return flight to Washington, D.C., would double the amount of CO2 burned to 378 tons — more than 72 cars driving for a year.
The climate change summit in Paris that aims to tackle global warming will itself pump an estimated 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Around 50,000 people including world leaders, businesses and activists are expected to travel from across the globe for the two-week conference in Paris which started today.
Steven Stoft of climateParis.org, the average round trip per attendee will be around 9,000 miles.
Taking the fuel consumption of a Boeing 747 – around 16.5 miles per gallon – which the website describes as a 'happy medium between private jets and bullet trains', it is estimated around 27 million gallons of fuel will be used by travellers attending the conference.
With each gallon of fuel producing around 21 pounds of carbon dioxide, the total released by planes flying to and from Paris is thought to be about 575million pounds (290,000 tons), according to rough calculations.

Remember this when Obummer and Gore tell you to lower your footprint in the name of "climate change".

How else would anyone travel? By canoe? Walk?
Reducing emissions doesn't equate to a person swimming an ocean rather than using existing means. It's about policies and the future of energy.
No one's telling you to push a wheelbarrow from your trailer park to BK for dinner. They're saying "let's use technology to rely less on fossil fuels".
Conservatives seem to make this shit up out of thin air.

Why has nobody invented some sort of vehicle or flying contraption that runs on unrecyclable garbage yet?

Because there's no money in the cure. Libtardz need a way to tax people. If you eliminate the issue, dem-wits would have to invent an issue to replace it.

according to that logic everyone- senators, presidents, CEOs, etc could just sit at home and communicate over the internet.

Yes. Exactly. I am on web conferences for work 4-5 times per week. They can do the same thing.

running a gay porn webcam out of your mom's basement isn't the same thing as running a government, dooshwad

Don't sell yourself short, u r a phaggot. I'm sure your body of works is just as important as anything Congress accomplishes when in session.
But meanwhile back on topic, the president didn't really physically suck any dick when he got to the conference so why couldn't he have saved a few million dollars and salt marsh mice by using his pen and phone and the the interweb?
