With five private jets, Travolta still lectures on global warming [W/ Photo]

His serious aviation habit means he is hardly the best person to lecture others on the environment. But John Travolta went ahead and did it anyway.

The 53-year-old actor, a passionate pilot, encouraged his fans to "do their bit" to tackle global warming.

But although he readily admitted: "I fly jets", he failed to mention he actually owns five, along with his own private runway.

Travolta has Al Gore disease. He's so fat he seems to be bursting out of his skin.

do as I say, not as I do?

(is that an Italian flag out front?)

[angkor]

Not to mention at least 5 (but maybe 7) cars in the driveway.

I saw John's Qantas 707 on the ramp in Atlanta a few years ago. It's a beautiful restoration.

It's interesting guys like Travolta and Gore and Edwards and Pelosi think all they have to do is speak out against global warming and that's all that is required. Travolta has a lot of company on the left when he calls for the little people to sacrifice while he doesn't.

Right above the 6 car parking area, which in front of the 10 car air-conditioned garage? Yes, with a second flag (American?) on the other pole. But I don't know what his patriotic claim is to either

CORRECTION: which in front = which is in front

[rabidralph]

Improperly posted on the left, as well. The American flag must always be flown on the left staff when flown with a second flag, according to flag protocol.

Oh, but Travolta can purchase carbon offsets! So that makes him morally superior.

[Erik Latranyi]

(is that an Italian flag out front?)

Yes it is. Don't forget, Travolta is also a Scientologist.

That "This is your captain" picture in the article needs to be photo shopped with a bobble head.

[saganite]

I wonder if John does buy carbon offsets? After he's opened his mouth and shot himself in the foot he may have to in order to placate his hollywood buddies---and big Al of course.

[goodwithagun]

John Travolta is also a scientologist. Al Bore claims that the earth is a baby with a temperature. Maybe John, Tom Cruise, and Al can cure the earth from globull warming by prescribing it a strict regime of fasting and herbal supplements.

It's obvious the man is either still a child or insane.

[Mr. Brightside]

Travolta's lawnkeeper in one season causes more global warming than the average American does in a lifetime.

[Quilla]

Global sagging.

It sure looks nice in that picture. 707s are great old planes. That having been said, those old engines (I'm guessing Pratt and Whitney JT3Ds) are both thirsty and somewhat smoky. It's not at all "green". I'm all for him having him having his plane, but it's ridiculous for him to lecture about global warming.

I wonder if John does buy carbon offsets?

If he does, it's Al Gore that benefits. He's a principal in they company that buys and sells the offsets and they charge a fee for that.

According to what the article says - maybe he's trying out for a part in that band "The Village People"... YMCA?

Hey, and look at what most of those cars are???????

SUV anyone??????
