Everyone knows that flying is not good for the environment. But often there is no other way to get to our target destination. Now I ask myself how environmentally unfriendly flying really is.
Air traffic is responsible for 2.5% of total Co2 emissions. This does not sound like much, but if it were a country, it would be the 5th largest emitter in the world.
The route from Munich to Frankfurt by plane causes CO2 emissions of 140 kilos, whereas the same route by train only causes emissions of 17 kilos.
