KICK THE WORLD We thought his wife was the only careless clown in the family: "According to Soccer America daily, with reference to data provided by the British environmental group Carbon Trust, [David Beckham] is responsible for 163 tons of carbon dioxide yearly — compare that to the normal 9.4 tons the average Englishman produces. Beckham's Carbon Footprint — a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide — may be the largest in human history."

    I would like an explanation as to what is causing this alleged 163 tons, and also what information/specific details they used to arrive at that number.

    I can't imagine that his carbon footprint is higher than, say, Brangelina or Paris Hilton or someone.

    Sooooo when I first read this story this morning, I was all, "that sounds off. I mean I know he works out and all, but he doesn't work out THAT much." Yes, I thought it was referring to the CO2 he breathes out. I am slow in the mornings.

    I don't really get it? Because he has a lot of cars? How could he produce that much carbon dioxide, though, even if he drove all day? I'm confused.

    i hate all caps. And I have a hard time believing there aren't arrogant asses that have more "toys" than beckham travels.

    How many years have these studies been based on? Where did they get these numbers? I'm with you admittedlyaddicted. I hate these statistics when there's really nothing there to back it up, gives me the feeling that someone just pulled those numbers out of their ass.

    If they pulled it out of their ass then it's highly possible that's not all Beckhams gasses. I say that test is tainted.
