American Airlines is coming under fire by the hippy tree huggers for a lavish use of fuel to transport just 5 people on a large passenger plane across the Atlantic.

The flight from Chicago to London meant that the plane, a Boeing 777, used 22,000 gallons of fuel. It is estimated that each passenger produced 43 tons of CO2.

I think that if you read the full article at the Telegraph, a reasonable person with a basic understanding of economics might agree that they had to do this.
