Conor Ryan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 yeah hi Im new too.I was wondering why does Chris have fly by private jet to Palm Springs, 35 minutes from Las Vegas, on a Learjet 45. The Learjet 45 has a normal cruising speed of 846 kmph. Its fuel consumption at this speed is 579 litres/hour, which means it burns 0.68 litres of kerosene per kilometre(3).The Airbus A321, a standard medium-haul commercial plane, travels at 853kmph and uses 3000 litres per hour, or 3.52 litres per kilometre(4). It seats around 189 people. Assuming that average occupancy is 70%, or 132, then every passenger is responsible for burning 0.027 litres per kilometre, or one 25th of Chris Martin’s consumption.It’s probably fair to assume that he flies at least 100,000 miles (or ten return journeys averaging 10,000 miles each) in his private jet each year. If so - and even before taking the rest of his activities into account - he would be exceeding his fair share of carbon by 250 times. If we were to take the other climate changing effects of air travel into account, we would multiply this by 2.7 times.Chris please think about all the harm you are doing to our skys and our world,Thank you Conor Ryan a cold Coldplay fanand stop driving big expensice BMW X5s These are one of the thirstiest 4×4s on the road. The US Environmental Protection Agency reveals that in cities they manage just 16 miles to the gallon.you should be driving a new hybrid car whth little or no emisions you have the money to invest in one of them.Just a thought.Peace Conor Ryan :sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green eyes88 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 i had a while where i was really addicted... it was around the time before i went to china... like september-october, the 2 months where i was home doing nothing much. I was here all the time but then i came back from china and suddenly this place wasnt as fun anymore i still love it here but coming home only once a week now makes me feel lost when i come here :(... plus i dont really have time to get addicted again anyway ;)... but it's nice to come here even for just a few posts a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
