Recent attention has focused on the high rates of annual carbon sequestration in vegetated coastal ecosystems—marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses—that may be lost with habitat destruction. Relatively unappreciated, however are studies by the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research indicating the average sized private jet generates approximately 52,000 times the carbon emission as a mid sized SUV covering the same distance....

Now consider Barack and Michelle very often fly in separate jets so that Michelle can get a few more hours of "her time" in. Plus the next time a hollyweirdo flys in on their private jets to give a speech scolding the little people for driving SUV's, think about it...before you applaud their noble jesters.

Think about it people, really, really think about it. How can you take Obama's claims it's essential we reduce our carbon foot print through extreme measures serious...when he insists it's vital that he and his family continue their annual ritual of visiting Hawaii. Forget the millions in cost, consider the carbon "gigantic" carbon foot print that Hawaii ritual leaves on the earth.

So the next time Obama talks of the need to reduce our carbon foot print, think really hard before you applaud his noble speech.
