Wings legend in “giant carbon footprint” shocker

Sir Paul McCartney’s brand-new Lexus LS600hL was flown to the UK from Korea (!), by Lexus, in a move that enlarged Macca’s carbon footprint by about 1000%. The hybrid car, which was gifted by Lexus to the most annoying member of The Beatles, made the 7,000-mile trip via Korean Air. This resulted in a carbon footprint of 38,050kg, as opposed to just 397kg if transported by boat. According to Jalopnik, “The director of CO2Balance.com claimed the trip was the equivalent of the car driving around the earth six times.”

To be fair to Macca, he apparently didn’t know that this was how his four-wheeled present was going to be delivered. No doubt he’ll present two thumbs-down when he finds out.
