That's true (-ish).
Here are the numbers:
Modern pure-ICE cars don't got below 100g/km of CO2. Round trip NYC-LHR yields 1 ton of CO2. So the above comment is true-ish for cars that do less than 10k km annually.
- kevinventullo 6y agoIs that flight footprint averaged over the number of passengers?
- kissiel 6y agoYessir. I remembered the number from the past, and before writing this post I found this https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/jul/19/carbon-calculator-how-taking-one-flight-emits-as-much-as-many-people-do-in-a-year https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/...
