7. LOL!

Your comment really made me laugh, Yui.

Great and effective ad.

For those wondering how the 400kg of greenhouse gases/passenger figure could be correct, it's because each carbon atom released by the combustion of the jet fuel joins with two oxygen atoms taken into the engine from the atmosphere to create carbon dioxide. Each O atom weighs more individually than the C atom, so the greenhouse gas molecule is more than three times the weight of the cabon atoms in the fuel alone.

(I spend a lot of time debating global warming online with skeptics. It's a bad habit, but at least it's helped me pick up some rudimentary chemistry.)

3. Ouch.

And Truth...it's a terrible industry..spewing fumes and super heated air into the upper atmosphere.

4. Yes, I agree.

Air travel is environmentally very destructive.

5. It's not just fuel for air travel

Shipping leaves a horrible footprint.

6. I work in the industry....

You must also factor in all the ground support equipment(GSE). Ground power units, belt loaders, tugs, in air cargo 2-3 k-loaders. Tons of carbon a day just for the GSE.
