Do the (new?) math!

The U.S. EPA has found that a typical 22 MPG gas-based car emits about 5 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
On average, you emit one ton of CO2 for about every 2,500 miles you drive.

Actually, I goofed. My estimation of the weight of gasoline was faulty , actual weight is 6.3 lbs. per gal..

One pound of gasoline produces just over three pounds of CO2, according to the EPA.

THIS IS FANTASTIC GOOD NEWS! Plants can only survive because of CO2!

It used to be equivalent to 1000 cars.

A typical Boeing 747-400 passenger jet burns between 5,633 and 5,772 pounds of jet fuel on takeoff. For Boeing 747-400 freighters, the amount increases to between 6,389 and 6,589 pounds.
Listed for take off only.
Multiplied by every 3 seconds.

A half acre of trees absorbs (needs) the equivalent amount of CO2 which is produced by one car ANNUALLY! Of course this doesn’t count grass, flowers, moss, vegetables, etc., etc.

A major concern should be the amount of oxygen wasted when liberals breathe!

I'm sure the math makes sense to the "woke" and the few that will end up making tons of money off this s**te.

And the CO2 they produce while bloviating.

One Lefty emits 1000 Lbs. of trash with every breath. How bad is that for the environment?

I think the studies show that the average l*****t spews more hot air in 1 day than a Conservative emits in 1 whole year. The angrier a l*****t gets (which is every day of their life), the hotter the air gets and the more CO2 is emitted. The average rate per minute of a l*****ts breathing was around 25 breaths per minute while a conservative breaths about 16 times per minute. L*****ts have been know for hyperventilating which pollutes more air. The final conclusion of this study indicated that l*****ts should have to carry pollution identifying cards with them at all times to go outside their homes,enter restaurants,go to concerts and other functions like visiting granny.
