The NY Times notes the unsubtle irony of Mayor Bloomberg's environmental record. On the public front, he's a "visionary." But, in private he is one of the "worst individual polluters ever to hold public office."He owns two private jets, the least efficient form of transportation on earth. I take the L train everywhere, Mayor Bloomberg takes a jet or, if he's feeling cheap, a personal helicopter.
Just how bad is it to take your private jet to a climate change summit overseas? Someone did the math: "By taking his Falcon 900 to Denmark, Mr. Bloomberg will be responsible for the release of 37 times the carbon dioxide than if he and his entourage flew on a scheduled commercial flight." Way to be a jerk Mr. Mayor.

Were you somehow unaware of this the whole time you were endorsing Bloomberg up and down the Internet? Eight years and three elections is a little late to start caring about these things now, right?
ReplyDeleteI would prefer a Private Jet charter for luxury and quick transport for the business purpose. Private Jets are used to travel from any place to any destination.
