Google Will Now Calculate Your Co2 Emissions for Taking a Flight

Needing a flight into Colorado I ran across something NEW: Co2 calculations for a flight! Right next to the price, so you can now add how much carbon-pollution you want to inflict upon the world with your traveling decisions. Haha wtf.

Looks like as of today, it's not factored in the price, but a take look in the 4th column....

Obviously a precursor to more climate change agenda stuff, and them forming a new currency 'carbon credits' which will highlight and favor the carbon-efficiency of their preferred brands and companies over other, non-compliant companies.

Here's a snippet from an article on the matter:

"Milan Klöwer, a PhD student of climate computing at the University of Oxford..."

"He added: “In that sense, great that a customer has the choice between a flight with 161 kgCO2 emissions or 191 kgCO2 emissions, but this completely obscures that an airline also has the choice whether they want to invest more into efficiency/reduced carbon emissions or not.”
