North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appears to have departed for Russia via his luxury armored train, South Korean media reported, ahead of expected talks with President Vladimir Putin in Vladivostok that the US said would touch on arms transfers to help the Kremlin’s war machine.
All air travel, all of it, amounts to less than 3% of carbon emissions.
Every category of carbon emissions is just a part of the total carbon emissions.
Yes and the percentage is important.
So if we make up some 30 more categories with as much emission as air traffic, none of them make an impact, because they are all only about 3% of the total?
3% is huge.
Road transport is 10x air traffic emissions, as an example

How many people/cargo get moved by road transport vs air transport.
Yes that’s the point.
I thought it was substantially more than that.
Just shared this link elsewhere, but it’s generally estimated to be between 1.9 and 2.5% across all data I’ve seen
