  • Yep. Flying is the most polluting thing the typical citizen of the wealthy world has access too.

    It is not as bad as the ultra rich taking their 200 foot yacht to helicopter ski down the melting glaciers of the antarctic, but a single long flight exceeds the annual per capita emissions for a large chunk of the world.


  • there’s about 8.3 billion people in the world right now, so driving a car is something about 16% of the world does. Though that assumes most people have one car per person, and suspect that may not be true. The wealthier people have several cars per person, which lowers what fraction of the world drives. Though I couldn’t find any statistics on how many people regularly drive in the world.

    For what it’s worth for the “average american household” transportation is usually their largest source of emissions. https://coolclimate.berkeley.edu/calculator
