Carbon Footprint for individual aircraft?
Does anyone know where I might find a 'rating' or table for specific aircraft types? What I really need is a 'per hour' figure for common commuter types for a comparison project. I've tried Googling, but so far without success.
(Before I get flamed for being a soap-dodging eco warrior, my personal opinion is that, while global warming is undoubtedly happening, we (the aviation industry) are a very small and virtually insignificant part of it)

Climate change caused by man-made activity is a scam perpetrated by some scientists with a vested interest and by governments who want to tax us more. Global warming is a natural phenomenon not caused by my helicopter, cows farting or eco-warriors hot air.

The most informative thread I've found is the SAS emissions calculator at www.sasems.port.se
They only give information for their own and partner airlines' aircraft so they don't have many regional/commuter types (Q400, CRJ900, ARJ...).
Also the site is not set up for benchmark comparisons so you have to specify a route and aircraft type, and if you want more than one type you have to go through several tiresome iterations.
Incidentally if you specify a route like CPH-LHR you get a big range of types, including the little ones.
