@SheDrivesMobility mich hat in dem Zusammenhang interessiert, wie groß der Unterschied zwischen WoMo-Reisen und Fliegen ist #doTheMath

Schauen wir dazu z.B. auf die CO2 Emissionen:

Im Wohnmobil (Diesel mit zwei Personen ) kommt man auf etwa 200 Gramm CO2 pro Personenkilometer (g CO²/Pkm), beim Fliegen sind die Emissionen mit 300 g CO²/Pkm etwa anderthalb mal so hoch. Zum Vergleich: Bei Zugreisen liegt dieser Wert bei 15 - 40 g CO² / Pkm. (1/2)

@gerrymcgovern I think you might find it interesting to check out the first video (or however many catch your interest) of this playlist on "Metastatic Modernity" by Dr Tom Murphy of UCSD.

Murphy has been writing on energy, economy, modernity, and their intersection with planetary limits for quite a while at his Do The Math blog, and although that started in a pretty standard "green tech" position, as he started to look at things from a deeper, and rather darker, perspective which in 2021 he turned into an e-textbook _Energy and Human Ambition on a Finite Planet_.

Anyway, sorry for dropping in from nowhere.

The Third-of-a-Pound Burger flop

"Ah, fractions. Who needs 'em? Not burger devotees. According to Canadian news outlet CBC, the famous McDonald's Quarter Pounder burger once had a larger cousin, the Third-of-a-Pound Burger...."

That's why it's a bad idea to argue online.

Reading Tom Murphy is very enlightening. This post has hit me especially because I work as a teacher, but I recommend it for everyone nonetheless, because it also points to something that other people are saying out loud: less compartmentalization, more broader view, or systems view (like Nate Havens says).
