how much co2 does the u.s. emit into the atmosphere each year?

I went back to an old post on this subject...I had gotten the math wrong and re-calculated it...or so I thought. I was still wrong! Y'all are supposed to be checking my math. #newmathvictim #it'sthesimplefuckingunitconversionsthatkillmeandnowthati'mgettingoldandmybrainisgoingdownhillit'sevenworsetypeshit

Here it is in metric tons, tons, pounds, acres, square miles, and last but not least, Ford Expeditions.




FUCK MAN I WAS STILL OFF … ONE THOUSAND MILLION IS A BILLION NOT A TRILLION … IDIOT!

2017: 5140 MILLION METRIC TONS

5140 million metric tons
5665.880133 million tons
5,665,880,133 tons
11,331,760,266,800 11 trillion lbs
5500 lbs/expedition
2,060,320,049 expeditions
110.7 sf/expedition
228,077,429,370 square feet
43560 sf/acre
5,235,937 acres
640 acres/sq mi
8181.152052 square miles

TRAVIS COUNTY 1023 SQUARE MILES
VERMONT 9249 SQ MI
NEW HAMPSHIRE 8969 SQ MI
MASSACHUSETTS 7838 SQ MI

SO TRAVIS COUNTY 8 LAYERS DEEP IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER FORD EXPEDITIONS - EACH YEAR
OR MOST OF NH (91.2%) 1 LAYER DEEP

THAT'S HOW MUCH CO2 is EMITTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE EACH YEAR IN THE U.S.
