I didn’t ignore that comment Kelly or any of your comments. I would never do that 🙂

“”I’m just rather doubtful that we are the only or even the main cause of the current changes…””

“”I don’t want to get into a debate over whether human-generated global warming is “real”…””

I just have a difficult time responding to some of your comments is all, I am not ignoring them.

I have some numbers. If after all of that, you are still “doubtful”, as you said earlier, about mankind being THE cause, then I am afraid you and I have taken this discussion as far as the two of us can 🙂 Yay stubborn people! (myself included)

Cheers!

— Worldwide fuel production, Per day —

80,000,000 (bbl) x 55 gallons, /2 = 2,200,000,000 gallons of fuel.

55 gallons of crude = about 25 gallons of refined fuel, depending on the crude.

1 gallon of refined fuel, emmissions = 19 pounds.

Seems hard to believe, but through “binding”, C02 actually gains more weight once it enters the atmosphere, since a gallon only weighs 10 pounds.

2,200,000,000 gallons x 19 pounds = 41,800,000,000 pounds added in mass to our atmosphere each and everyday. This doesn’t even include the biggest culprit, coal plants.

Using 1,000 kg or long tons 2,240 lbs per ton, that means we are adding, in pure mass, about 19,000,000 (yes million) tons of hydro carbons, per day JUST from burning oil.

To put that into perspective, that is over 190,000 fully loaded 100 ton coal cars. It would take 1,900 trains to move that amount. And if CP Rail had to carry that amount of Hydro-carbons daily, they would fall short, by 1,850 trains.

Coal plants add an extra 26,000,000 tons of c02 per day.
