Every gallon of gas burned emits 20 pounds of carbon dioxide,
*********
That’s ridiculous.

It’s also bad math. A gallon of gas weighs what, just over 8 pounds? How can you increase the mass through burning?

[Fungi]

What is ridiculous? The premise, gasoline, carbon dioxide, photosynthesis, what?

[Jonty30]

It’s probably accurate, but they don’t say how much the plants use. No CO2 means no plants.

[umgud]

A gallon of gas probably weigh less than 7lbs, but emits 20lbs carbon dioxide? And they pop off this bullshit with a straight face.

[Rurudyne]

Plants use CO2 for food...

You have to realize that drugs are a problem.

Conservation of matter only applies to the real world, not liberal la-la land.

Exactly ... that statement right there invalidates anything else stated in the so-called "article". A gallon of gas weighs about 8 lbs or less. How do you get 20 lbs from 8 lbs?

“Every gallon of gas burned emits 20 pounds of carbon dioxide,

That’s ridiculous.”

Yeah, that caught my attention too. What’s a gallon of gasoline weigh, maybe six or seven lbs? And, carbon dioxide is in a gaseous state. I would have to see the math in this before believing it for sure.

[nobamanomore]

I think water is 8 pounds, gas I think is 6. It’s a good thing the Libs are the people who love science, cause they aren’t so good at math. How can you get 20 pounds of carbon out of 6 pounds of gas?
