Notable Quote: “I'm probably not the best candidate to ask about global warming because I fly jets.”
Even Travolta himself has admitted that “I'm probably not the best candidate to ask about global warming because I fly jets.” He has continued to lecture others about using alternative fuels, but excused himself by saying "I use them as a business tool though, as others do. I think it's part of this industry – otherwise I couldn't be here doing this and I wouldn't be here now."
According to the London Evening Standard (UK), despite telling British fans to “‘do their bit’ to tackle global warming,” Travolta has been “clocking up at least 30,000 flying miles in the past 12 months means he has produced an estimated 800 tons of carbon emissions – nearly 100 times the average Briton's tally.”
Travolta has also been an “Ambassador-at-Large” for Australia’s Qantas airlines since 2002. Qantas’ website said that “John Travolta continues to fly his Boeing 707 and represents the Qantas brand both in Australian and overseas.”
Travolta’s solution to climate change? "I'm wondering if we need to think about other planets and dome cities.” He added that "[e]veryone can do their bit. But I don't know if it's not too late already. We have to think about alternative methods of fuel.”
