carbon emissions from First lady's flight

For reference, a modern passenger jet (B777, A350) gets around 65 miles per gallon per passenger seat and averages about 80% full on a typical long-haul flight. So that's about 53 miles per gallon per passenger.

The real-world fleet average for cars and light trucks in the US is about 25 miles per gallon, with an average occupancy of about 1.5 passengers. So that's about 37.5 miles per gallon per passenger.

Flying is more fuel efficient when you're going long distances.

However, most people can't afford to travel long distances very often for any reason, due to cost.

Make of that what you will.

And that's super. But as common sense, and FCD just explained to you, this is one woman. Flying on a governmnet plane. And the ironic thing is, her husband is currently at war with everyone using too much Co2. If you aren't quick enough to get the point on that one, I feel very sad for you.

Exactly what I expected.

LoL

Always look forward to seeing your posts, none the less.
Cheers!

Don't know who you are replying to in your post.

There are also no trees up at the elevations jets fly at to convert the CO2 back to oxygen. NASA brought that up but it never went anywhere, in fact they were disuaded to follow up on that by our and other countries governments.

If they were worried about climate changed by CO2 they would have stopped all the excessive air travel going on but no, this is supposedly the biggest air travel year for this date in history. I guess so many high ranking politicians and their administrations use air travel they will hide the fact that it is one of the worst causes of climate change.

40% of all illegal immigrants into the US come from three countries -- Mexico, India, and China.
Each of those countries have much lower per capita carbon production than the US. Much lower.
When the illegal immigrants come to the US, their per capita carbon use will increase to match the US level.

This means illegal immigration is contributing to climate change. Allowing illegal immigrants into the US increases global carbon output.

Excessive population growth is an ecological time bomb and strains natural resources.
100% of US populatipn growth is from immigration, both legal and illegal immigration, but overwhelmingly illegal. So illegal immigration is a population growth problem, and thus an environmental problem.

You cannot support illegal immigration and be an environmentalist. Those two are mutually exclusive.
