To fly or not to fly – Today’s clidemy climate poll
A New York – Delhi – New York round trip on a plane will have a CO2 carbon footprint – PER PERSON TRAVELLED – that is equivalent to running a 1 ton AC for 8 hours for one full year.
Looks exceptionally high, but this is a fact.
That is, if you avoid that long distance, international round trip – 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 – you are cutting off emissions that a typical residential AC emits for a year.
Avoiding a Chennai-Delhi-Chennai trip could mean avoiding a month of AC emissions.
Given the above startling facts, would you like to avoid flying to the extent possible? This is today’s Climate poll from Clidemy.
