If the 30,000 people attending the Copenhagen Climate Conference all flew, the total man-air-mileage would be 97,930,800km(1) at a cost of 0.00029 tons of co2 per person per km,(2)
or 28,399.93 tons of co2.
Therefore those 30,000 people could each drive a thirsty SUV for 6 months(3) assuming an average mileage of 5259.25km/year for the same environmental cost. That, or cut down 157,777 trees!(4)
