how much carbon dioxide does this supercommute produce, expressed in cars/day?

edit: i guess it's just cars

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

The commute itself? Hard to say. But according to the article, a billionaire produces emissions equivalent to a million average people.

There are 3,311 billionaires.

Once they are eliminated, that's the emissions of 3.3 billion people taken care of.

How many bananas for miles travelled.

It's actually difficult to estimate, but there are ways to calculate it. I gave up because I found one part of data expressed in CO2e per mile, another in CO2e per hour, and yet others with CO2 instead of CO2e. If I get into calculating that, I'm going to require funding.
