Article Abstract:
Cars, airplanes and trains all contribute to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Trains are the most efficient, but not many passengers are using them so the per passenger efficiency is only slightly better than planes. Cars are the most expensive options, due to fuel costs, insurance premiums, registration fees and maintenance.
