calculating the carbon footprint of Hajj

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I estimate: GARGANTUAN. Presumably, Allah will take care of AGW in the minds of the indoctrinated, and anyway, what's AGW compared to an eternity in agonising pain? These morons are fast becoming an agonising pain in the neck, for me personally.

Travel and tourism is one of the largest industries in the world and is a large contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Religious tourism is a fast growing sector within the tourism industry. Pilgrimage to Mecca, Hajj, is one of the oldest and largest religious tourism events in the world drawing 2.79 million participants from all around the world in 2011.

Less than three million people in one year?  BFHD. That pales into insignificance alongside non- religious tourism.  The fine folks at Wikipedia inform me that 20 million people visited the Disney park in Florida in 2014.

So, should all travel for pleasure be banned, or just travel for religious purposes? And how are religious pilgrims a pain in the neck for you personally? Are they tramping through your garden on their way to Mecca or something?
