Chris Martin - major contributor to climate change

Featured Replies

ahh, who cares. Life is for living, we all know. so let him live it like he wants to. I mean, from all of these fear-mongering specials on the NatGeo and history channels ive been watching, we're all gonna die by a comet hitting the earth, or a black hole, or nuclear warfare, on evil computers taking over the world. Global warming should be the last thing on our minds! ;)

And just for the record, in London they also own a Prius - the hybrid car - so maybe he's not always quite the big bad environmental ogre as he's being painted out to be!

 

Well,i've seen a recent photo of chris in new york drivin this car

Wow - that is a little scary! I thought I was a bit of a mad fan... :confused: :P

 

I somehow doubt he actually OWNS all those... I think perhaps we ought to give the guy a bit of a break. What's he supposed to do if someone offers him a ride in their non-electric car? Say 'no thanks, I'll walk the ten miles with the paps...'

 

Then again, given he owns a fleet of private jets for his daily use, I guess five cars per city is probably nothing ;) :laugh3:

good god are you stalking the man?

 

you are an idiot

believe it or not,these are all the cars he got (from what i've seen)

Damn you Christopher Martin! Swim to America from now on you selfish bastard!

 

:laugh3::laugh3:

But this is what I mean - I don't doubt you've seen him in all of these, but that doesn't mean that he owns them all. In the same way that just because he's flown in private jets doesn't automatically mean he owns one or uses one everytime he flies.

 

All of these kind of accusations are based on assumptions, not fact. We have absolutely no idea how many cars Chris Martin actually owns, how many times in reality he has actually flown a private jet.

 

I don't really want to argue over how many cars/jets he owns, as it is pointless and doesn't make the tiniest bit of difference to climate change issues. All I think is that promoting awareness on climate change should be based on promoting the facts, not on villifying individuals. Writing articles based on the latter is just poor and lazy reporting.

Who cares? I want to adopt Chris.

"I call on all readers to lobby Chis for more environmentally appropriate modes of travel, and a little less hypocrisy in his support of good causes. A LearJet, for goodness sake, at a time when the while world is looking to unified action on climate change, and alternatives"

 

That's just stupid. Really, really stupid.

 

This sounds like a typical Coldplay hater who wants to jump on Chris for doing something good.

A friend of mine works in the belsize park area and he has seen chris almost daily,believe it or not

er.. I like the band. I also have a PhD in the environmental area. I teach at a major research university. Never send spam.

As I said, this is an issue of credibility and social justice, just as much as doing work to support fair trade, etc. The science of warming is, let me tell you, really scary.

Live Earth concerts were not great on emissions, by the way. Loads of people flew in.

  • 4 weeks later...

This whole discussion is pretty pointless. What does it matter if Chris Martin drives an SUV? Really, millions of other people do...not to mention the millions of other airplanes out there.

 

Anyway, I personally believe Global warming to be a natural occurence, and one not dramatically affected by such emissions nearly as much as, say, the sun itself.

hey i thought that they travelled by commercial aircraft everywhere, there were pictures of them at the airport in Brazil or Chile on the Latin American Tour? He doesn't own a private jet, he said he doesn't like it. He only travels on one when it is supplied by someone else?
