How far can you travel on a carbon budget?

As the transport gets more carbon- intensive, the holiday destination gets closer to home. You can travel 12 times further by train than by plane for the same carbon footprint. We've taken into account necessary changes of mode: train to get to the ferry, and Eurostar crossing for coach and small car. Radiative forcing for flights has not been included; the effect of this may increase the carbon footprint of flying. Megeve Megeve 835 km
