You're right. Household CO2 emissions are nothing compared to commercial / transport.
Just look at airlines. As a random example, Qantas Airlines, in the 2015 financial year, burned $3.9 billion AUD worth fuel! (About $3 billion in USD).

- tgjsrkghruksd 9y agoActually, you are be sorely wrong. Aviation is ~2% of human CO2 emission, and 12% of transport CO2 emission, versus 74% from roads. Judging from the streets and highways, most of that 74% is coming from household vehicles, and most of the rest is pretty much driven by household consumption.
- ptaipale 9y agoThe numbers seem to be very unreliable, though. Over here (Finland), reputable sources (such as WWF and State Statistics Center) give drastically different numbers for aviation emissions. A reason could be that in some statistics, only domestic flights are included, and international aviation belongs to no one's statistics.
