Kinda makes you wonder how the economy could be so terrible, if individuals and businesses can afford to fly all the time.
Yeah, I fly fairly frequently for work, and every airport, every plane has been full with travelers from all walks of life. This level of travel does not match match a scenario where masses of people are seriously concerned over the price of eggs going up a few dollars. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Each passenger-trip releases approximately 1 ton of carbon, so the axis can also be read equivalently as tons of carbon dumped into the atmosphere. Those airplanes are hungry, so we are gonna have to drill, baby, drill!
+1 in sense that I didn't have to comment.
They’re all on my plane. One of them is in my seat.
