How do they figure out those damn things anyway? A gallon of gas weighs six pounds or so, but they say it creates like 100 pounds of CO2.

A gallon of gas weighs six pounds or so, but they say it creates like 100 pounds of CO2. LIBERAL MATH: 2+2=5, as long as you feel good about yourself.

I have, however, streamlined it by using the UN model. Freepmail me with how much money you have and I will send you a bill for your credits. You may use them as soon as your check clears.

A carbon dioxide molecule weighs roughly 3.83 times as much as a carbon atom; on a pound for pound basis carbon makes up about 5.3 pounds of the gasoline.
So, one gallon of gasoline represents just over 20 pounds of carbon dioxide.
