I just had a thought.

For over a week now, northern Europe has essentially been a no-fly zone. And what are we always told? That aeroplane travel emits lots and lots of CO2, which is bad.

So - for the last week, the planes haven't emitted anything. Think of the CO2 savings!



By my (admittedly shaky) maths, I make that 187,301,897,000 grams of CO2 saved - if an average 'fun' car emits 300g/km, that's 624,339,657 km or 390,212,286 miles of driving!

Why?

I don't know, but it's not like it makes that much difference.
