If you’re not reading a used book using a solar powered flashlight, it’s navel gazing.

  Flying in a plane is basically the most carbon intensive thing normal people do. It's something like 1/4 ton of CO2 per hour per person. Per capita carbon emission in the US are ~15ton/yr.

    So being on a flight means that flight generates 1/4 ton of CO2 per hour more than if you weren’t on it?

      don't be facetious, less demand for flights means less frequently scheduled flights. extraneous flying results in more production of CO2 in more massive quantities.
