Those
that stand accused of seriously heavyweight CO2-inflicted damage have
been named and shamed this week, having had their emissions totted up
as part of the City Car Club's latest survey and subsequently arranged
into a sort of incriminatory Top 10 based on the average level of
carbon dioxide emissions per kilometer.
And with footballer's cars, music star's cars and actor's cars included in the list, they're a dirty lot.
Simon Cowell
He who attempts to put the 'extra' into irritatingly and
'ordinarily' talented potential Butlin's employees lives is making the
main offender thanks in no small part to his lock-up being wedged with
a Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari F430 and a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
To
a chorus of boos, everyone's favourite pantomime villain is now being
rounded upon and vilified by the environmental lobby by being solely
responsible for emitting an average of 457g/km of CO2.
Jay Kay
Right behind him – no really he is – we find every milliner's dream -
Jay Kay - in this 10-strong line of firing squad-readied vehicles.
Perhaps practicing what he preached - and traveling without moving –
the fidgety-funkster would discharge a lot less than the average
444g/km of CO2 than his Bentley S1 Continental, Ferrari Enzo and
Rolls-Royce Phantom account for.
David Beckham
Beck's isn't as vacuous as he appears, specifically when it comes to amassing some pretty environmentally-unsavoury weaponry in his motoring arsenal.
The helium-voiced soccer-balling-one is contributing to making
everyone's air that much thinner by releasing an average 421g/km of CO2
into the atmosphere, courtesy of his Bentley Arnage and Continental GT,
Hummer H2 and Lamborghini Gallardo team.
Rowan Atkinson
Rubber-faced funster Rowan Atkinson's bevy of automotive beauties will
make more than your nose twitch too, given that they're responsible for
398g/km of CO2 pollutants relocating to God's penthouse. Keeping himself amused in an automotive manner are an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, Audi A8 and Bugatti Veyron.
50 Cent
Yeah! Yeah! Fiddy should be rapped across his diamond encrusted knuckles for his
expensive contribution to climate damage, committing a 394.5g/km worth
of CO2 crime. Which even by his stratospheric standards, is a whole lot
of hot air for his posse of a Hummer H2 and Rolls-Royce Phantom to
circulate.
Rio Ferdinand
Manchester United blocker and footballing Simpson-a-like
Rio Ferdinand is mixing more than his metaphors too, namely some
379g/km of noxious fumes are ending up more skyward than his attempts
on goal thanks to his Bentley Arnage and Continental, BMW X5 AND
Cadillac Escalade.
Steven Gerrard
Those looking to plunder Steven Gerrard's gaffe might do well to
confiscate his collection of Aston Martin Vanquish, Bentley
Continental, BMX X5 and Porsche 911 Turbo next time round. If they're guerilla eco-activists they no doubt will, seeing as they account for 361g/km of CO2 emissions on average.
Kerry Katona
The toxic Kerry Katona is a greater risk to the enjoyment of our lives
than we first thought too, given that her gaggle of Aston Martin
Vantage, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 Turbo and Range Rover
constantly reek of 359.5 g/km of CO2.
Wayne Rooney
Our Wayne isn't hoodwinking anyone into thinking he's
eco-sound-as-a-pound either as his none-workman-like 308g/km CO2
emitting line-up of an Aston Martin Vanquish, BMW X5, Mercedes CLK and
Porsche 911 Turbo kids no-one other than himself.
Justin Timberlake
And finally, Justin Timberlake wont be moonwalking his way out of
trouble with the environmental lobby anytime soon, as owning up to – and
knowing how to use – an Audi TT, Jeep Wrangler and Range Rover makes
spinning the attention away from 287g/km of CO2 emissions trickier than
a back flip.
