A ton sounds like a lot right? But for climate alarmists a ton is a great worry inducing tool - a car only weighs two tons - think of the mass we must be throwing into the atmosphere. Well remember people that when it comes to carbon in the air a ton does not weigh a ton!
From fragrance to chocolates, we are now being offered carbon-offset products. But is there a catch?
Our per capita carbon footprint stands at 9.7 tonnes each every year - think of it as six hot-air balloons full of CO2. Illustration: Rob Biddulph
It is notoriously difficult to move a muscle without creating a carbon penalty, and mitigating this can be a full-time obsession (as evidenced by No Impact Man, noimpactproject.org). As if our per capita carbon footprint wasn't big enough at 9.7 tonnes each every year (think of it as six hot-air balloons full of CO2) this winter's cold weather could cause it to swell. In the absence of any meaningful low-carbon power generation system, we retreat to burning huge quantities of coal to fulfil increased power demand. Coal use explains why Australians weigh in with a thunderous annual output of 20.5 tonnes of CO2 per person. Read more.
