paddy, you can't compare the 2, a plane going from LHR to Edinburgh, yes it uses a lot of fuel and outputs more carbon than a car, but that one trip would get 150-200 people to Edinburgh, compared to a car is just 5-7. if you wanted to get the same amount of people to Edinburgh from London, cars would output far more CO2 in total.
per footfall, airlines actually emit about 2.4% of all CO2, less than the cement industry.
