Me thinks there is BS being flung...
How can a private jet spew 40,000 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere in one cross country trip? Hell the jet does not weigh that much.
The amount of carbon in the exhaust of a car can't weigh more than the fuel does to begin with. Are the greenie-wennies subtracting the carbon already in the air before fuel is added and ignited. Is carbon the only by product of our activities?
I am starting to think the numbers being spewed by AL-GORE Inc. concerning the weight of carbon we make is a pie in the sky crapped out after a huge bowl of chili.

Maybe they are talkin'bout G-Dub's "PRIVATE" jet.. 0 -
The 40,000 Lbs. is typically referring to CO2, The make up of which is 32 parts (by weight) of oxygen to 12 parts (by weight) of carbon.
40,000 Lbs. of CO2 thus requires approximately 10,900 Lbs. of carbon in the fuel to be combined with 29,100 Lbs. of Oxygen in the air.0 -

The main engines produce water.
The solid rocket booster propellant is primarily aluminum powder (if memory serves) and thus they would produce mainly aluminum oxide.0 -

HOLY CRAP with all that weight we are probably crushing the earth to death.
Free the carbon, the sky is falling.
I thought O2 was our friend? Now it is combining with carbon to make Co2??? When did that start? Dealing with it will make AL-GORE Inc. more wealthy. GWB and Cheney must be in on this deal with Halliburton leading the way in profits.0 -
...[:0] OH! You saying all the Carbon Credits I bought, to make myself feel better...may be no good? Why The Gore and his Euro partner promised they would plant 10 Pine trees for every $10,000 worth of Carbon Credits I bought, and now to find that The Gore and the enviro-whack's MIGHT have lied about it all?????
...Then why in the hell did I go green for? The tent (that I made myself from recycled potato sacks) that I live in, the candles (that I make myself from wax from my own beehives) I use for light, heat, and to heat my homegrown sprouts and Tofu..ALL for nothing??
...Ive been lied to by the envro-whacko's, and The Gore too??...oh..[:0].is there nothing sacred anymore....[V]
