Train can be worse for climate than plane - environment - 08 June 2009 - New Scientist: "A new study compares the 'full life-cycle' emissions generated by 11 different modes of transportation in the US. Unlike previous studies on transport emissions, this one looks beyond what is emitted by different types of car, train, bus or plane while their engines are running and includes emissions from building and maintaining the vehicles and their infrastructure, as well as generating the fuel to run them."
