After electricity and heating transportation is, by a considerable margin, the second largest source of emissions. And as the article points out, on a per capita basis domestic flights and single person car usage are several times more emission heavy than other modes of transport. So this is certainly one of the most important sectors to tackle.
- msoad 3y ago"per capita" is misleading here. We don't measure concrete production per capita like that for example
- Barrin92 3y agoit's not misleading at all. Not only are those two methods of transportation also the largest in absolute terms. Per Capita costs are what matters because that indicates the efficiency of that particular mode of transportation. we definitely should measure concrete usage that way. If country A houses ten times more people with the same amount of concrete as country B, A is vastly more environmentally friendly.
