Aviation boom doesn’t bode well for climate

Air travel is the preserve of a mere 5 per cent of the world’s population, but this tiny minority’s behaviour affects the poorest- who will probably never fly. Aviation has enormous repercussions on climate change. Let’s look at a few figures. An Air France/KLM report of 2005-2006 reckons it takes 3.1 litres of kerosene to fly one person for 100 km. This means 10 kg of co2 emissions, as per accepted calculations.

So, a person flying a distance of 10,000 km (two ways) ends up adding more than a tonne of co2
