Tally of Emissions

All measurements in Tonnes.

Via direct flight, total emissions would be 2.664

melb-bris = 0.1 (shared car, 3 people)
bris-townsville = .08 (shared car, 3 people)
townsville - darwin = .225 (shared car, 2 people)
darwin - bali = .267 (FLIGHT)
bali - surabaya = .01 (Ferry, bus)
surabaya - yogya = .01 (Train)
yogyakarta - jakarta = .01 (Train)
jakarta - batam = .02 (Ferry)
batam - singapore = .001 (Ferry)
singapore - kuala lumpur = .02 (Train)
kl - bangkok = .09 (Bus)
bangkok - kolkata = .233 (FLIGHT)
kolkata - delhi = .09* (Train)
delhi - lahore = .07* (Train)
lahore - quetta = .03* (Train)
quetta - zahedan = .02* (Bus)
zahedan - bandar-abbas = .01* (Bus)
bandar-abbas - tehran = .02* (Train)
tehran - van = .02* (Train)
van - sirince = .05* (Train/Ferry)
sirince - kavala = .005* (Bus/Ferry)
kavala - bucharest = .02* (Train)
bucharest - berlin = .11* (Train)

*projected

total = 1.511

HYPOTHETICALS

(after the jump)





Firstly, as commented on previously, we might look at the first and most obvious Hypothetical:

HYPOTHETICAL #1

If I had avoided flights, that is, there existed the Ferries:
Australia - Indonesia
Phukket - Port Blair

Projected total = 1.03

HYPOTHETICAL #2

The second biggest total here is the Townsville-Darwin section. Let's imagine there was an affordable option for this journey, that is, aside from the $1200 ghan or the privately owned $650 Greyhound bus.

If this route is modified to a more normal .091 of the Adelaide-Darwin bus journey:

Projected total = 0.847

We are now at under 1/3 of the emissions of the long-haul flight.
