> But I also flew about 100,000 km per year in the time before COVID and am still on track to fly about 30,000-50,000 km this year. This puts me right back among the people with the highest carbon footprints in the whole world. You were going to fly 30k-50k km regardless of if you biked or drove. The fact that you biked cut your emissions quite a bit. A cut in emissions is still a success. And before anyone says, but what about my electric car!? 1) it produces a ton of carbon to build your car (a year's worth of emissions for a Westerner)... 2) for at least the next 10-years, in most of the US and the EU, your car is charged by ~50% fossil fuels. The average person's emissions are almost ~1/10th just from building their car...
