  European: ~10 tonnes CO2 per year - 190 years
  World average: ~5 tonnes CO2 per year - 379 years
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
This one plane emits many lifetimes of CO2 per year.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t think this accounts for non-CO2 impacts either (e.g. contrails). Multiply the years by about 2 as an estimate of that.</text><parent_chain><item><author>tacoman</author><text>The website says:&lt;p&gt;~ 1,895 tons of CO2 emissions.&lt;p&gt;According to the EPA (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.epa.gov&amp;#x2F;greenvehicles&amp;#x2F;greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.epa.gov&amp;#x2F;greenvehicles&amp;#x2F;greenhouse-gas-emissions-t...&lt;/a&gt;): &amp;quot;A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;So about 420 cars worth of emissions.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>ElonJet Wrapped 2022</title><url>http://elonjet.net/wrapped22/</url></story>
