How much greenhouse gas is emitted by hot air balloons? Do you go for hot air balloon rides?

Hot air balloons burn liquefied petroleum gas, a form of natural gas. Of the the big three fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas, gas has the lowest carbon content and makes the smallest contribution to global warming. So a balloon flight is quite clean.

Don't go! You'll cause the polar ice cap to melt. Don't drive a car, heat your house, cook your food, take a hot shower, go camping, use electricity, rub your hands together and for heavens sake turn your computer off.

Want to reduce your carbon footprints?Move into a cave like bats.As in dingbat. Oh and to answer your q;tell him to start looking for a new girlfriend.(The warranty is expiring on the current model.)

I'll let you decide on the site of your marriage. Weddings leave a big carbon footprint. All the driving to and fro, the parties, catering, etc. And the gifts. Expensive gifts need be wrapped in oil wasting styrofoam and plastic. Then jetting off to that romantic honeymoon. Do it! Get married, Have fun. But plant lots of trees. Especially the ones that absorb carbon dioxide. Feel less guilty.

Just do it! It's probably a once or once in a while experience. I probably wouldn't ever do it because I'm freaked out. You are in a basket so many feet above. I would think I would break through of fall over the edge or the balloon would pop. BUT GO FOR IT!

Have you ever tried to take a hot air balloon ride without the hot air? I suggest you try.
