So I was watching Adult Swim last night (Futurama x2 followed by The Family Guy) and they were running a cool visualization by Aaron Koblin of the air traffic over the US.
There is more at Koblin's site.
Now, I need to go and watch tonight’s episodes!

It looks like you get 1440 extra minutes. And you can blame Presidential candidate (in South Carolina) Stephen Tiberius Colbert. From the DonorsChoose blog:

I thought it would be important to put up a blog…
The third entry on my "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things" list is my favorite sportswriter. That honor goes to the legendary Sports Guy, Bill Simmons. The Sports Guy writes for espn.com, as well as for the Jimmy Kimmel show, and he's the funniest sportswriter this side of Bill Scheft. But…
I have now reached the last leg of my travels. I was in Philadelphia for several days last week, and was in upstate New York over the weekend. Currently I'm in New York City.

It should be criminal to broadcast this over YouTube. Link to the QuickTime source!
Koblin himself appears to have put it on YouTube. And I did link back to the original site with the Quicktime versions. So what's your point?
Here is one of the QuickTime links

Aaron's homepage GUI is a little more geeky than user friendly. What can I say, I liked it. Take a moment to play.
My point is that the video loses a huge amount if viewed in the low resolution YouTube version.
That's truly cool.
The artist's website was giving me a headache after a long day at work - did anyone find anything for other countries or continents? A global version would be even better.
That was absolutely amazing, just to think the scale of human achievement that both the video and, more so what it depicts, actually represent!
It represents an awful lot of C02 emissions.
Hey, Matt J: yeah, you have a point. But you don't consider that those of us who do not have fast connections would never even have come across this without a first reasonably quick viewing here and/or at YouTube that BOTH have links to the original which allows us slowpokes to set aside an entire night to download the quicktime version. These are helpful PREVIEWS. Do you have any conception of how useful that is to us? Or do you just like acting the snob?
Criminal? Relax, man! Try to understand what we boonies have to put up with. We aren't all yet as well connected as you are. JFHC
Monsieur Canuck et Quebecois, Yabut, how much?
A good rule of thumb is one pound CO2 per passenger/mile on domestic flights. Et, two pounds CO2 per passenger mile on international flights. THERE IS NO WAY TO REFRAME THIS FACT.

And yet I don't see a single link in your comment.
Interesting.
