You're not going to get 40 tons of CO2 out of 1200 pounds of jet fuel. You would probably get a little under 2 tons.

Any good leftist would tell you that not calling Gore on his carbon footprint is a “good investment” in the future of the earth, because he’s doing so much to “raise awareness”.

Explain how 1,200 lbs of Jet A gets converted to 40 tons (80,000 lbs) of carbon dioxide in a hour? I think you need to correct your graphic. My estimate is that 1,200 lbs of Jet A would produce to about 470 lbs of carbon dioxide (at standard altitude & temperature).

How does 0.6 of a ton of fuel turn into 40 tons of waste?

How does 1,200 pounds (a little over half a ton) of jet fuel combust with ambient oxygen to generate 40 TONS of carbon dioxide?

To put 40 tonnes into perspective:
5.57 tones of CO2 per year is the emissions of the average car..
