At least half of these are not available in my general area for my normal travel.
I'd like to be able to make better choices, but my options are limited by factors beyond my control.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This is good, but neglects the bike and ebike categories, which a considerable amount of the world also uses.
I can't take it seriously if it says "gas car"
Most modern countries have a gigantic percentage of people driving about in 1.2 litre shitboxes because that's all they need
People that call them "gas cars" are usually selfish fuckwits that drive 4 litre "gas" guzzlers because their government subsides billionaires
Heh. "Gas Car, 170 tonnes / km / passenger, based on occupancy.
Most cars are single-occupancy despite having 4 more seats. So they're RATED at 170/km/p but they're more 850t/km each car during rush hours with no car-pooling.
And no one car-pools, effectively.
I really hope they're right and it's grams, not tons.
Total carbon?
Carbon per person?
Carbon per mile?
I walked down to the store and it was 526 cabin footprints.
I'm going to venture a guess and say it's grams of CO2e per passenger over 1km
How many passengers in the car?
The prophecy is true
What is the definition of short haul vs medium haul flight?
IATA defines short haul as a total flight length under three hours, medium haul as 3-6 hours, long haul as 6-16 hours, and ultra long haul as 16 hours and above.
ICAO has other definitions, and doesn't consider medium haul as a separate category. Some airlines and airports also have their own, distance-based definitions.
😑 reading this on a short haul flight for work
I wish riding a bike in my city was easier, it's basically suicide with more steps, my municipal policy forces bikes to share the road with motorist and it's 90% stroads.
I could have these problems. Bad policies are better than no policies. Driving with any vehicle seems like suicide in India.
On the upside, dying saves a lot of carbon emissions /s
Where can I purchase one of these fancy Eurostar trains ?
I assume the author says Eurostar because it's essentially a French TGV service that extends to London. The rest of our rail network is made up of constantly overwhelmed, Victorian-era infrastructure and is perpetually on the verge of shutting down, especially in the North of England and in the South East. So unlike France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc we only have a single, modern, high-speed railway, and it's called Eurostar.
It also has National Rail and the London Underground on there separately. Seems the data is UK-centric which makes it weirder that they referred to petrol cars as "gas".
So 113 x 
This is just from a small part of my city.
I’m surprised everyone is wearing a helmet.
Well it's the law.
😳 Is that a daily occurrence?
Pretty much during morning and afternoon rush hours.
What about a private plane like a Gulfstream?
The 0.1% definitely blow things out of the water comparatively speaking.
It's still important for the 99.9% to know where our co2 emissions are coming from so we can find ways to reduce our own emissions and put pressure on the 0.1% to reduce theirs as well.
Spreading awereness is also important so more people will know the impact their choices have on global co2 emissions which will hopefully encourage them to make smarter choices and pressure the 0.1% and corporations to reduce their emissions as well.
Carbon footprint is a term that was made up by oil companies to shift blame from them to us.
And yet, here we are using this metric to discuss how to use less oil. How is this supposed to benefit them?
There's no denying that you're part of the problem though. You're not of the hook just because someone's worse than you.
Oil companies sell oil and manipulate national policy to promote its use. Consumers buy it and support policy to promote its use. There's at least a bit of room for personal responsibility there.
Doesn't change the fact that some forms of travel are objectively worse for the environment than others. If you can reasonably take a train or a bus instead of a plane or car, you should do so.
There's too much data missing though. What were the emissions for creating, maintaining, and disposing of these modes of travel?
instructions unclear: purchased a bus and am now using it to commute to work instead of an f-150
what term can I use to put the blame back on them?
Carbon somebody else's problem
Like what motorcycle are they looking at, like sports or commuter? Because my commuter motorcycle (KTM 390 duke) gives me like 30-35km/L easy, no way a hybrid is more efficient. Got it once to 45km/L by falling into the slip stream of the vehicle in front of me, but that shit is dangerous.
I can understand L/100 km and MPG but km/L is just wack.
3l/100km then
This is from memory from a while ago, so take it with a massive block of salt. Although motorcycles are a lot more fuel efficient than most other forms of transport, they don't have to comply with the same kinds of emission standards and as a result have "nastier" emissions. Again from memory I thought that was primarily NOx, which I thought was more of an air quality thing than a greenhouse gas thing, but maybe there is something else as well?
Because my commuter motorcycle (KTM 390 duke) gives me like 30-35km/L easy, no way a hybrid is more efficient
My prius c can get 20 km/l at the minimum, about 25 km/l on average, and about 30 km/l on a really good day. Winter is the worst due to the need for the heater on startup. Granted, it's not a plug in hybrid, so it isn't getting the maximum efficiency as it could.
Currently trying to switch over to a bike, gonna try to get it a mid drive upgrade. Should have a fraction of a percent of the carbon output of my car.
