I might just be wrong, but I have a feeling that there won't be much carbon dioxide coming from planes except that which comes from opening bottles or cans of fizzy drinks on board............

I'm sure Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Atlantic Airways, and his friend Al Gore, a jetsetter, have all this information at their fingertips.

About 560 Tg (560E12 g)
Page 9 of the link will enlighten you.
Remember, this is only 1% of the CO2 produced by all of us breathing........!

there are different ways of calculating it, and you also have to compare it fairly to other modes of transport - ESPECIALLY CARS!
The aviation industry is heavily taxed and does acknowledge that it is a polluter but steps are being made to go green - more so than the automobile industry

I'd guess about half as much as is released by automobiles and trucks.

I don't know the exact amount but it is a lot. Also the big diesel trucks on the road put out a lot more.

I think you mean carbon monoxide, and I'm not sure that jets and turboprops give out much that, because they use turbine engines.
