And a carbon credit?  Didn't the early Catholic church sell forgiveness from sin?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[philadelphonic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2007 7:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[What is wrong with the Prius now? Seems like every time some solution comes up theres always some big shot who wants to shoot down progress.<br><br>Anyway, I don't blame John Travolta for adding 800 tons of carbon emissions to the environment last year, it definitely is part of his career to fly from place to place and in short amounts of time, horse back riding won't cut it for him. Nor will it work for CEO's and all of those, although they should fly coach with the rest of us whenever possible, if they have to make a meeting in under 10 hours its improbable that they can take public flights.<br><br>Buying carbon credit makes absolute sense, having to pay for their share of adding pollution, sort of like a luxury tax would be a great way to hopefully get into their heads about how much time they spend flying, by getting into their wallets they'll be more aware.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Graffitimonkie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2007 11:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[No, he didn't make an emergency landing. He was on the ground for a regular fuel stop and upon departure, learned one engine had a bad starter. A new starter was put in. The crisis never left the ground and no celebrities were endangered at any time -- which he'll tell you directly. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[K]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2007 7:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[No one has commented on the fact that he was flying a nearly-empty 707 around the world.  Isn't that wasteful?  I can understand if he were flying a plane full of his friends to a party, but to fly an enormous plane like that nearly empty sure is a lot of fuel and carbon dioxide per person.  Maybe he should have flown first class on a commercial jet (celebrities do that, you know).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dottore]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2007 10:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does anyone really know what carbon credits are?

As for "carbon credits", what a bunch of absolute bullshit. Buying your way out of being a major polluter by paying for planting a few trees is such a scam. How about these celebrity assholes taking the bus, flying coach, downsizing both the number and size of their houses, and "living green" like they tell everyone else to do? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Truth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2007 8:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[John Travolta's head is so far up his aspirilla that he doesn't know his Barbarino from his Kotter.

It doesn't reduce the pollution that he produces.<br>As for carbon dioxide, all living creature breath in oxygen and breath out CO2.  Plants take in CO2, which they need to live, and emit oxygen.  That's how the planet works.<br>Peta says the methane from animal waste is the greatest source.  It's caused, according to PETA, by our raising animals for food.

Sacrifice is only for the ordinary people, not for the elite. While the rest of us are condemned for buying anything larger than a Mini, or driving at all (how dare we) the folks with money, on both sides of the issue do what they damn well please. And of course, we have to listen to them, because 'we' don't know any better. Maybe this global warming thing is a fraud -- I mean, the people who preach that 'we need to do something about it' don't take it seriously, so why should the rest of us?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Maser]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2007 8:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[John Travolta is another hypocritical celebrity telling people how to live while they are living "large" themselves. Just like Madonna tells people that 'money isn't everything', and meanwhile, SHE isn't lacking for anything. Paris Hilton, does a commercial,telling folks to vote, and meanwhile-she isn't even registered. Disregard everything celebrity's say; they are usually talking out of their own *****.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[amanda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2007 8:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's interesting to note that the term "carbon credits" were used on an idividual use basis.  Originally, and still in use today, the "carbon credits" were created for the coal energy plants that couldn't afford, or chose not, to install emission scrubbers in their smokestacks, to eliminate, or at least, decrease their emmissions.  Companies that had scrubbers installed, are allowed to sell those credits those power generating companies that couldn't or wouldnt install them, and couldn't burn low sulpher soft coal in their power plants.  It also applied to those plants that had no scrubbers, but burn't a mix of soft and hard coal.<br><br>That so called solution to emmissions, was in my understanding, applied only to industries, even as wrong as it was.  That individuals can also purchase those credits, tells me there is no reason for the EPA to exist anylonger, and perhaps it's time to eliminate them, and start over from scratch.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg Haller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2007 9:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on High Flying and Global Warming Words Get John Travolta In Trouble]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/05/high-flying-and-global-warming-words-get-john-travolta-in-troubl/</guid><description><![CDATA[The celebrities are so full of it, they drive a prius to hide the fact that they heat and cool 25,000 square foot homes, fertilize and water acres of land and maintain multiple houses and fly to those locations.The vacation homes also use utilities and the prius makes them feel good.

I have never met my CEO or even my immediate supervisor.  Our last meeting was on a conference call.  I burned no gasoline getting to work today--I just walked about 50 feet.  My granddaughter 80 miles away wanted to talk to me earlier today but neither of us had to leave home to do it.
