does this imply that most co2 emissions are caused by cars and consumer flying?

No, but there are many sources of emissions related to the sprawl of car-centric culture.

The connection with flying is just how much emissions can be attributed to one passenger in a plane compared to an equivalent drive. When you fly you're trading more emissions for speed and convenience in your travels. The classic quoted stat is that a single flight is worth about a year of driving at today's averages.
