At this point it’s almost redundant to go into it, but Sting still isn’t setting a good example on the WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE FROM GLOBAL WARMING!!! front. According to the Daily Mail, he’s still private-jetting around like there’s no tomorrow:
The Police front man, who has long been a campaigner on environmental issues, was spotted disembarking from the plane alone at Leipzig airport. He was then bussed into the city centre to perform with the rest of the band on Saturday.
Sting, aka Gordon Sumner, then flew home yesterday to perform The Police’s last ever concert in the UK at London’s Hyde Park Calling festival, although it is not known if he returned alone.
That’s two private jet flights in one day. You’d think after the Police were declared the “dirtiest band in the world” (and not in a good way) and Sting got up onstage at Live Earth and vowed to reduce his carbon footprint, he might make more of an effort. Think of the rainforest, Gordon!
Or maybe he is making an effort. Maybe he used to burn big piles of semi-truck tires and polar bear corpses just to watch the pretty colors. So he’s not doing that anymore. We should take that into consideration.

P.S. Alternate headline: Sting Walks on Moon, Flies Everywhere Else
I am sure he took a whole hospital full of sick children to be cured and had them leave the jet by the back exit. After all he wouldn’t want them to be traumatized by the news media coverage.
That’s what I do when I fly my private jet around. Fly sick kids around. Then push them out over the ocean. No one likes sick kids. Well that and make little “pew!!-pew!!” noises with my mouth. Like I’m shooting down bad guys.
I always liked the Police, and even Sting’s solo work, but nothing can take away the fact that he’s a frothing anus.
Yeah, Sting is like 10 Kourics to Bono’s 7.
Another one of the predominently hypocritical Hollywood/Entertainment Industry schmucks. They’ll tell you how to live (if you’re daft enough to listen) with minimalist lifestyles, no guns, cars or luxuries. Then they laugh as they’re drug-addled bodies are chauffered around the world, at their leisure, with armed guards as they enter their 10K sq ft mansions behind 12 ft fences.
I am so damned sick of these idiotic, Jesus Christ-wanna-bes telling us “common folk” to watch what we do as they wag their fingers at us telling us we are destroying the earth. The whole global warming/climate change fraud is being perpetrated by people who have gigantic out of control egos and want to be thought of as the Second Coming. If being a hypocrite was a crime, Sting, John Travolta, and Al Gore would all get the death penalty.
When they start saying that my TV is causing climate change that should tell everyone that they have jumped the shark.
When you hear global warming/climate change, replace them with “taking power from the people” and “destroying personal freedoms”. Wake the hell up.
