Apparently, driving in a car with a modest fuel efficiency of 10.5 km/litre generates 215 grams of CO2 per kilometre.
On the other hand, flying 1 km generates 381 grams per person.
Now bear in mind that the per-person rate in a car can be halved or quartered by the occupancy. So if you're one of 4 people in that same car, you are responsible for only 54 grams/km.
Of course, this does not take into account the cost of fuel, or the time taken.
