Just two of the trips he took by commercial airlines in 2001 and 2003
emitted as much carbon as someone who owns a car emits in 5.4 years!
That figure is just for Michael Vandeman ALONE. How many other
"environmenalists" flew there? The total global warming emissions
emitted by these people traveling by air is MASSIVE. Keep in mind
that's just the CO2: the total warming effect of CO2 +
H2O + NOx is about 3 times greater!

It's amazing that selfish people like Mike refuse to use alternate
means of transportation to these conferences. He wants others to stop
mountain-biking while he does hundreds of times more damage to our
planet. What a selfish hypocrite.

And both of you are nuts! Mountain biking is not as bad as Mikey makes
it out to be.

If you have scientific proof (I know you DON'T), show it. Otherwise,
shut up about things you know nothing about.

Shut up? Oh my, must have hit a nerve.

You and I both know the facts and in the words of Michael J. Vandeman,
"do your own homework".

No spin that you put down is going to change the facts, and those
facts are that you, Michael J. Vandeman have traveled a number of
times on commercial airlines to environmental conferences and those
flights do more to hurt the environment than mountain-biking ever
will. You yourself have contributed more to global warming by flying
than many car owners will ever contribute.
