Environment Terminator

Talk about a commute!

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose official place of work is in the Northern California city of Sacramento, reportedly spends nearly every night in his Los Angeles-area mansion.

The distance between the two cities is about 360 miles one way!

The governor uses his own money to pay for his Gulfstream flights, which price out at about $10,000 an hour.

Good thing he earned some major cash as a bodybuilder/actor.

But, the environmental costs are high. Flying TO AND FROM WORK is not very ecologically sound, as our Perezcious readers know!

The governor's staff says he purchases "carbon credits." Such credits are aimed at offsetting the greenhouse gases generated by his flights but do nothing about the particulates and smog-forming compounds released into the air.

The reason the Governator gives for the 'commute'? It's so he can spend time with his family. Admirable but can't the family move up to Sacramento?

Arnold recently made the cover of Newsweek for being 'green'. Looks a little hypocritical to us!

      Guess what, he still got a home and family that he wants to be home with. So he'll do what he can do best, fly himself to work and home. Alot of people have to drive and that's just as congested. He's just taking the faster route. He's still a great governor and has earned every last drop of that!!! So leave him alone Perez. I see you are still working on your status in Hollywood and slowly but surely will be doing the same crap these celebs are doing that you post daily on your blogs. So stop hatin!

      global warming is completely overblown. Further, the pro-warming meterologists that claim to completely understand the most complex, chaotic system in existence are full of shit. The true objective, 400+ POLITICALLY INDEPENDENT meteorologists from 40 different countries all agree global warming hasn't even made it past hypothesis, and is far more likely natural climate flux. Keep on flyin' Arnie.

Ever consider the caustic effects your friggin hair dye has on our environment? Maybe you should stop dying your hair and start walking to all of your engagements including the ones cross country. You're turning into a great big cry baby.

      I don't believe that global warming bull. The elites want us all (common people) to conserve while they continue on flying private jets, driving SUVs, etc. Buy carbon credits. ha I remember back in the 70s when they pulled about the same thing only that we were going into an ice age. This winter has been one of the coldest on record. They want to tax us on breathing, people, WAKE THE FUCK UP! As for Arnold being president, Hell NO. They would have to amend the constitution. Who wants someone who is a Nazi wannabe? I sure the hell wouldn't! Arnold is NO GOOD!!

      AL GORE DOES THE SAME EXACT THING! SO DOES EVERY CELEBRITY!!!!!!

      if all these so called "green" celebrities were really green they would all live in smaller houses which would use less energy, drive hybrids, and stop flying to places close enough to drive too. until then, STOP HATING ON REPUBLICANS WHEN DEMOCRATS DO THE SAME EXACT THING!!!

      datesun,
      maybe he should stop worrying about those carbon credits and start worrying about our education system that he's slashing. shame on him for not making education a priority!
      voted for him once. wouldn't make that mistake again.

      Hollywood hypocrites. !0,000 squarefoot homes for two, suvs, private jets. They pay their fines for carbon immision and set back and condem the working man for not riding bicycles and cutting the thermostat. Perez why don't you list some of these fakes. Gore heads up the group alone with Barbara S.

      79

      Arnie is not the only a&*hole governor to forget where the capital of his state is. I live in Illinois and our governor refuses to stay in the Mansion even when he is in town (which never happens). He uses the jet for private use all the time and in general is a total waste.

    80. Larry says – reply to this


      80

      $10,000 dollars an hour? Let's see, that works out to about $200,000 per month, counting just weekdays. So if this report is true, the Governor should be able to stop jetting and buy a modest bungalow within walking distance of his office, or pay for a really luxious rental, and then he can see his family daily, only without the great, whoppng, embarrassing carbon footprint. The UN says that 18,000 children die each day from hunger and malnutrition. That's a sad thought, and it's even sadder to think about all the mothers left crying, and no one can console them. Flying around in private jets is convenient and comfortable for the super wealthy, but for me, the thought of all those children would spoil my ride.

      as a student doing my masters in environmental management, i really think that newsweek (and arnold) should be ashamed of themselves. newsweek should not be promoting this type of selfish behavior, which is totally the opposite of green. newsweek should have focused their attention on someone who is more deserving… like david suzuki.

      85

      Michele (comment # 69) should shut the fuck up because she obviously doesn't know what she's talking about.
      i'm a student working on my masters in environmental management… and from my perspective, newsweek should be ashamed of calling arnold "green"… just look at the flights. they should have focused their efforts on someone who is actually making a different, like david suziki.

      He is our GOVERNOR, Sacramento is our state capital, why can't he move for work like the rest of us do. It is ridiculous that he still lives in LA. If he refuses to move himself and the family to Sac, then he should fly up on Monday and leave Thursday, work from home on Friday. Or one day a week. COME ON! Is this why he was elected by the people?

      Hey, at least Arnold is paying for it himself.

And we - the taxpayers - foot the bill for his travel. At least we did until he got busted for it. I'd take Arnold over the douche we have in office here ANY day.

      Al Gore defends his extraordinary personal energy usage by telling critics he maintains a "carbon neutral" lifestyle by buying "carbon offsets," but the company that receives his payments turns out to be partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.
