The climate crisis has left the terrain of forecasting and is now manifesting itself in increasingly extreme ways, evident in places that until recently had the luxury of ignoring the warnings.

Transportation is the basis of our economy, fuels, food, raw materials, consumer goods and people are transported; All this mobility is based mainly on fossil fuels and represents 22 percent of our total CO2 emissions. In this sector, automotive transport represents 74 percent and air and sea transport are tied with 11 percent.

With a route that can be done by all land and air means, such as the 350 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, we can make a comparison based on a single passenger.
means | CO2 |
---|---|
Train | 0,75 kg |
Autobus | 10 kg |
Híbrido | 10 kg |
Car | 17,5 kg |
Airplane | 34 kg |
Private jet | 509 Kg |

In other words, half a ton of CO2 would be an optimistic figure, even if we keep that optimistic figure, a single person in a private jet emits the same CO2 as 727 people making the same trip by train, it is simply scandalous, it makes you think like the train, a means of transport invented more than 200 years ago is still the best option and here I am looking at a train powered by petroleum fuels, if they were electric, powered by a sustainable network as is the case in some places in Europe, co2 emissions are practically zero , so you know, more trains less planes.
