Heading down to DC to catch an #EarthDay flight on Air Force One tomorrow with the President. We're going to #ActOnClimate.

That’s hypocrisy at its finest: Air Force One burns five gallons of fuel for every mile it flies, a shocking 0.20 miles per gallon.

And Air Force One isn’t just making a trip from D.C. to the Everglades on Earth Day; the presidential aircraft will travel more than 7,100 miles across two continents, burning an estimated 35,609 gallons of jet fuel.

“According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the statistics arm of the Department of Energy, burning each gallon emits 21.1 pounds of carbon dioxide, bringing the president’s Earth Day carbon footprint to more than 375.7 tons.” David Martosko with the Daily Mail reported. “The White House did not respond to a question about any measures it might be taking – planting trees, for instance – to offset those emissions.”

I figured it out! Chemtrails are actually the Cap and Trade program in effect. You see, they're spraying trees in order to grow trees to offset the carbon footprint and thereby lower our fees.. Right? /s

<sigh> if only..
