Questions this hub answers

How much worse is flying than the train?
For comparable routes, short-haul flights typically emit several times more per passenger-kilometre than rail, before accounting for high-altitude effects.
Do carbon offsets work?
Most voluntary forestry offsets have been found to overstate reductions; treating them as a last resort after genuine cuts is the defensible use.
