> having a fossil fuel car for a year does not exceed the emissions of that flight.

That's true (-ish).

Here are the numbers:

Modern pure-ICE cars don't got below 100g/km of CO2. Round trip NYC-LHR yields 1 ton of CO2. So the above comment is true-ish for cars that do less than 10k km annually.

Is that flight footprint averaged over the number of passengers?
