That seems a tad excessive. The amount of CO2 emitted as a result of
your flying to Berlin, as against your staying home, is the amount of
extra fuel burned to support your body weight and that of your luggage
in a flight that would occur whether or not your seat was empty.
Which probably amounts to less than the equivalent of a few seconds of
a week's work in the USA.
