MORE: Some greenhouse perspective:
The typical American is responsible for 10 tons of CO2 emissions annually through their direct energy use of home, cars and air travel, and about 24 tons of CO2 including their purchases, activities and the other services we all share throughout the economy.
By comparison, a Gulf Stream III business jet (10-12 passenger) from New York to Los Angeles will emit around 31 tons of CO2 during the 6 hour flight.

Let's make sure we all get down to 9 tons so that the environmental crowd can get a few more frequent flyer miles. |
interesting stats.
wonder what the amount of co2 a 737 or a 767 spits out when it flies fron new york to la?
wonder how much is emitted from an automobile making the same trip?
or how about a greyhound bus making the same journey?
that would possibly allow the above "comparison" to have some relevance...
unless of course the point of the "comparison" was that people shouldn't be travelling from new york to la.
