The member of the human race with the biggest carbon footprint is (drumroll please ...) ~~soccer~~ football golden boy David Beckham, according to green group Carbon Trust. The hottest star in the Galaxy and wife Victoria-but-please-call-me-Posh have won the dubious honor for the second time. The duo have 15 gas guzzlers; Becks' flights in the last year for ~~soccer~~ football matches, advertising commitments, and Spice Girl support were more than equivalent to a trip to the moon, Carbon Trust calculated. We imagine his pure hottness and the extra CO2 exhaled in passionate sighs by his fervent admirers contributed as well.
