A good source for European train/plane/car emissions comparisons is www.ecopassenger.org. It will compare emissions for journeys such as Birmingham to Paris or Paris to Rome. For CO2 emissions per km for each mode of transport, see the graphic below. High-speed TGVs across France are techni...
*In international waters ship emissions remains one of the least regulated parts of our global transportation system. The fuel used in ships is otherwise a wasted oil, basically what is left over after the crude oil refining process. It's the cheapest and most polluting fuel available and the...

travelling on one of Deutsche Bahn's direct high-speed Intercity services. This service departs from Berlin Hbf (central station) about 20 times a day. Whilst it's possible to fly from Berlin to Munich, when you account for cost, carbon emissions and checking-in time, rail remains the fast...
my teenage self and, all the while, the E36 M3 has been depreciating. With the perfect storm of desirability, practicality, and economics directly upon me, I had the good sense to travel from the West Coast to a lakeside town in Montana to pick up my first M-car and drive it ...
