And in Sweden, where teen climate activist Greta Thunburg, 15, has led the charge to eschew air travel altogether, the growing stigma against leaving a large carbon footprint has allowed the term “flygskam” — Swedish for “flight shame” — to take off in Europe.
I'm heading Dublin-Berlin for a work trip. Going to document my non-air travels and travails here to show my first time to #StayOnTheGround. Flying is 3% of current emissions due to human activities. 3% sounds small, but a lot of the remaining 97% is feeding and heating people. A Swedish family of four told the AP that they are taking a 5.5-hour train ride from Nykoping, Sweden, to Copenhagen, Denmark — even though a flight would almost cut their travel time in half — because the train ride shakes out to just 5.3 pounds of CO2 per person . In comparison, a one-way flight would emit 260 pounds of CO2.
I already have 😍😍😍
The cardinal mistake here is assuming CO2 is bad because it “causes” climate change. A bigger scam has never been purported on citizens.
Yeah...Good luck with that.
