Show Notes / Corrections / Further Reading:
Chart showing emissions from transport
Correction for 3:28 - Fewer airplanes took off due to Covid-19, however we are talking about the pre-Covid trend.
Note: In general, when we say domestic, we often mean local, e.g. within the EU.
Government Airline Bailouts - Greenpeace
Note for 6:30 - What I mean by efficiency in planes is that planes are reaching the limit of how little fuel they can use for what they are trying to achieve. This is obviously hugely efficient compared to land transport, but it is efficient for what it is.
Energy Density of Different Fuels
Correction for 10:30 - Eat foods.
Thuma Forest - Not much info that I could find!
Correction for 12:20 - Mozambique is not beautiful once you get there.
Switzerland 🇨🇭 Airline Tax Levies
Hydrogen Aircraft - There does seem to be a turbofan-style aircraft!
Correction for 25:20 - Grey hydrogen creates emissions not fossil fuels 🤣
