The average Englishman produces 9.4 tons. They claim David's "carbon footprint" is the largest in human history.
His lavish lifestyle is to blame: Constant traveling and his several cars and homes as the reason for his excessive carbon use. They claim in 2007 alone, David flew farther than a trip from the earth to the moon.
The Carbon Trust said, "With all his money he should be using it at least to reduce his own footprint. He has more freedom of choice when it comes to methods of traveling. He could also choose greener cars."
