The cheap flight search engine Fly.co.uk recently put up the following set of statistics about CO2 emissions.
There are a number of interesting comparisons here, though I'd feel more confident about their reliability if I knew their sources and how the calculations were made.
The craziest thing is the stat that 57 million Americans eating the national annual average of hamburgers produces the same C02 as 480,000 flights from Heathrow! And that doesn't even count all the McTrash it produces.
