For most hacker news types, I would bet air travel was the vast majority of their emissions - probably putting them well over the average, even if they bike to the city daily.

That's true of myself. It's around 80% of our carbon footprint, depending on the year. We live on an island, which doesn't help.

If there were a decent internet connection and I could work remotely I wouldn't mind a slow container ship for international travel.
