I was apparently wrong, Obama’s Air Force One doesn’t run on unicorn farts.
Via Daily Caller:
President Obama is racking up a massive carbon dioxide tab traveling to a United Nations climate summit being held in New York City this week.
All told, the president’s entourage could emit nearly 22 times more carbon dioxide in his trip to New York than the average American emits in an entire year, according to calculations by the free-market American Energy Alliance (AEA).
How could one person’s travel emit so much carbon dioxide? Well, this is the president we are talking about, and he doesn’t roll alone. When Obama travels he requires his presidential jet, massive amounts of security and a motorcade to haul his staffers around town.
