Is "ten times less" the same as "one tenth"?

Taking into account the CO2 generated during manufacture of the
rails, boring the tunnels and other mundane things that are for
some reason are excluded?

Presumably then, you've made the same accounting for the manufacture
of the aircraft, the construction and maintenance of the airports and
the extraction, distillation and transport of the fuel "and other
mundane things that are for some reason [are] excluded"?
