Cant Stop Wont Stop Keep On Moving

Moves are afoot to oust Michael Palin as president of an environmental organiation. Apparently Palin (whose travel documentaries don't appeal to me half as much as his Monty Python roles) has clocked up quarter of a million air miles over the last two decades.

Palin made a new year resolution last year to confine his travels to Europe. But within six weeks he flew to San Francisco.

Is this so terrible? It amounts to less than one round the world trip per year. I imagine many heads of environmental organizations accumulate comparable air mileage. And of course, he could always mitigate his carbon emissions.
