Back of the envelope, 104 flights is like ~100 metric tons of carbon per year on flights alone (guesstimated four-hour flights on average), which is equivalent to about six and a half times the average American's entire yearly carbon footprint.<p>I know it's fashionable to say that "personal carbon footprints" are a myth created by Big Oil, but at a certain point you're CO2 Georg[0]. 104 flights a year is not more than what some people probably do for business, so I'm not calling her the World's Greatest Monster, but still: it's an impressive number for someone who doesn't charter business jets or own a yacht.<p>You could probably ride trains around Europe indefinitely like this guy and have a lower carbon footprint than most Americans: <a href="https://theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/jun/07/experience-i-live-on-trains" rel="nofollow">https://theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/jun/07/exp...</a><p>edit: She says she's flown 16 days and 18 hours by plane[1] last year. That's almost exactly 400 hours, ~100 metric tons if the figure of 250kg/hour Google threw out is correct.
