Michael Palin's CO2 footprint

[greg2k]

Has anyone ever tried to get a rough estimate of how much CO2 emission this guy is responsible for on his world travels (his CO2 footprint).

It seems very hypocritical that he chairs an organisation which frequently attacks Mr Mondeo man for his impact on the environment while making a series of TW shows which are, in 'sustainable transport' terms the equivolent of pure gluttony.

Yes, but he makes the journey with cameras so that you can watch the film and not have to travel yourself :tongueincheeksmiley:

[greg2k]

Yes but doesn't it seem rather arrogant and elitist?

Dont forget his camera crew of X people as well all flying with him.

He drives a Merc apparently.

He is very funny though!

[Apache]

Not when he's trying to remove you from your car based on flawed arguments that he's too lazy to look in to

No, he met some very funny people at University. He is a tallentless git. His performance as the Emporer in Life of Brian was frankly amateurish. In fact I have never seen him be funny.

Seconded, the guy's a perfect example of an English twit.

He makes my skin crawl, he is loathesome and in my opinon an ill educated nincompoop.

His interview with the Dalai Lama made me want to puke and go smash his smug little face in, can you see the irony in that?

Are you sure you don't like him just a teeny little bit?
