> Apparently personal vehicles are responsible for ~58% of transportation emissions. That's because most people in the world don't fly. If you're flying coast to coast and back once (approx 1t CO2eq), that's already a significant percentage of a typical car's yearly emissions, like 20%. Add an international flight and you're getting close to an even split. > You're likely much more effective giving up your car than giving up flights. I mean, obviously ideally you'd do both. Probably easier to significantly curtail both instead of giving it up entirely. But telling most people to give up their car is like telling them to give up a kidney or both.
