CLIMATE CHANGE & TRAVEL
Every form of transport that relies on carbon-based fuel generates CO
2
, the main cause of human-induced climate
change. Modern travel is dependent on aeroplanes, which might use less fuel per kilometre per person than most
cars but travel much greater distances. The altitude at which aircraft emit gases (including CO
2
) and particles
also contributes to their climate change impact. Many websites offer 'carbon calculators' that allow people to es-
timate the carbon emissions generated by their journey and, for those who wish to do so, to offset the impact of
the greenhouse gases emitted with contributions to portfolios of climate-friendly initiatives throughout the world.
Lonely Planet offsets the carbon footprint of all staff and author travel.
