Just west of the Pacific Coast Highway in the Paradise Cove area of Malibu, a major construction project is underway. Every day, at least 20 pickup trucks full of workers, earthmovers and multiple cranes belching black smoke crowd onto the lot, power up and get to work building Laurene Powell Jobs’ dream beach compound.
To date, Steve Jobs’ widow has spent more than $80 million on three oceanfront lots — tearing down the existing houses and, according to one person in the know, now building a “massive 20,000-square-foot home for her and her two grown daughters and two smaller ‘cottages’ that are around 4,000 square feet a piece for guests.”
Powell Jobs’ compound is par for the course in that ’hood, but she also just made international headlines with the announcement of her $3.5 billion investment with the Emerson Collective, an organization she founded in 2004 focusing on education, immigration reform and environmental causes.
A rep for Powell Jobs said her latest round of cash is slated for the Collective’s Waverley Street Foundation, which targets “initiatives and ideas to help underserved communities most impacted by climate change . . . Efforts will focus on housing, transportation, food security, and health.”
It’s a noble aim, except for the fact Powell Jobs seems to be blithely abetting the climate change crisis by traveling to and from her multiple homes (three more in Silicon Valley, a $25 million horse ranch in Florida, another in San Francisco) on one of the two Gulfstream jets she owns. (She also has a Philippe Starck-designed mega yacht.)

It's the same with these clowns. They may feel better but they dump massive amounts of crap into their precious planet and no amount of offsets will change it.
I did some calculations a few years ago about one particular trip Obama made in Airforce One, a Boeing 747. He flew to Europe for some big meeting, then half way through, he flew back to attend a friends wedding and then flew back to the meeting, then flew back to Washington. Between his 747, the 2 Airforce cargo planes (C-17’s), and the jet fighter escorts I figured he used....get this... 1,200,000 pounds of JP4 jet fuel. JP4 weighs 6.8 pounds per gallon so that is 8,160,000 GALLONS OF JET FUEL FOR HIS LITTLE TRIP! By the way, I don’t recycle now, just throw everything in the garbage, F them.......
Offsets are the equivalent of indulgences sold by “pardoners” in medieval Europe.
Most of them are well aware that CO2 has next to nothing to do with the temperature of the planet. It was warmer than now during the 1930s. It was warmer than now during middle ages. It was warmer than now when the Romans were in England. The climate of the earth varies in a cyclic pattern; if history continues to repeat itself it will be much cooler in the not so distant future regardless of the amount of hydrocarbons being burned either now or in the future. Unfortunately the cooler periods are always characterized by crop failures, famine, starvation, misery, and death.
Excuse me, sorry about my math, Obama used 176,470 gallons of Jet Fuel.

They can’t make something that doesn’t exist worse.
“Offsets are the equivalent of indulgences sold by “pardoners” in medieval Europe.”
Yes. It is a religion.
Your point is intact... Obama was and is a wasteful, spoiled, and hypocritical idiot.
Unfortunately, you have made a mathematical error. if he used 1.2 million pounds of fuel and that fuel weighed 6.8 pounds per gallon that comes to 176,470 gallons of fuel.
Powel Jobs: “ I have a Philippe Starck designed mega yacht.... sniff sniff...hrumpf!
