Full life-cycle emissions of train worse than plane

A study from UC Berkeley compared the emissions of 11 different transportation modes starting from their manufacture. The study found, among other things, that trains can emit more greenhouse gases than planes, which I’m sure will piss off all those who think a network of rail lines that go slower than the ones in Europe over longer distances will somehow solve all our problems. (The same people who assume locally grown food must have less of an impact on the environment.)
