Despite the denialists out there who claim that global warming is a hoax, it's actually happening. The weather's messed up, it's 85-degrees in January in my refrigerator, and I heard all of Holland's already underwater. And that was just yesterday.But what's the real cause of global warming? For a while we've been told it's a bunch of things. Car pollution, hair spray, farting cows, pretty much everything. Well, now we know the truth.
It's David Beckham.According to Soccer America, with reference to data provided by the British environmental group Carbon Trust, the Los Angeles Galaxy superstar is responsible for 163 tons of carbon dioxide yearly.
The average Brit produces just 9.4 tons. The average American produces 20 tons. USA! USA! USA!
Beckham logged over
Just to put this in perspective, Beckham flew farther in 2007 than a trip from the earth to the moon.
At home, Beckham owns a fleet of 15 cars, including a Porsche, a Hummer and a Lincoln Navigator. Lincoln Navigator? Whatever.
Oddly, Carbon Trust didn't count Beckham's hair products as well in the study. Had they, Beckham's total probably would have been 938 tons of carbon dioxide yearly. And that's a low estimate.
By the way, if were Beckham, I'd watch my back. Al Gore is pissed.
