What does 1 billion vehicles worth of CO2 emissions look like? (buying, tax credits)

The carbon trading system is a scam. How can one possibly have "credits"? The entire basis for it is demeaning to anyone who actually tried to reduce their impact on the environment.

A pipe dream if there ever was one.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the international body for assessing
the science related to climate change. The IPCC was set up in 1988 by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to provide policymakers
with regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and
options for adaptation and mitigation.

IPCC assessments provide a scientific basis for governments at all levels to develop climaterelated
policies, and they underlie negotiations at the UN Climate Conference – the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The assessments are policy-relevant but
not policy-prescriptive: they may present projections of future climate change based on different
scenarios and the risks that climate change poses and discuss the implications of response options,
but they do not tell policymakers what actions to take.

The IPCC recently released their Summary Report which concludes that the global issue is more severe than previously recognized, and it is informing the big international climate change conference currently underway in Chile.

For those who are interested in learning more about the IPCC, and to find more on that report, here is their official website.

IPCC Fifth Assessment Report

If carbon dioxide was so bad as a effluent gas then why were "Carbon Credits" invented? Oh yeah, to allow companies to pay money to the Strong/Gore retirement fund and pump out way over the limits that are allowed under legislation instead of closing them down. So in conclusion... CO2 is bad for the planet unless you pay to fill the atmosphere with it, then it's OK.

You really should take your bashing to the Politics & Other Controversies forum.

More UN BS,thanks but no thanks.
Truth hurts hey bro?

Not that Wikipedia is any more reliable a resource than Fox news, but did you even read the article you linked to? It doesn't contradict anything I said.

And therein lies the problem... even when given a chance to read source material, and actually think about what it says, haters just hate based on their predetermined world view, and damn all the evidence to the contrary.

Real thinkers read everything, both sides, odd sides, stuff that is not easily categorized, and then assess what is plausible, what is provable, what the quality of the evidence on all sides, and then make up their own minds.

It takes more effort than many people are willing to put into it, but then a recent study showed that only 5% of Americans could name the Vice President of the United States and the Lt Governor of their state, but nearly 100% could identify LeBron James and Kim Kardassian. I'm afraid the art of thinking is declining faster than our climate is.

Now that is beyond hilarious.
Like I asked you are here 24-7 responding,who pays you to post,Greenpeace?

Pray tell, how does the combustion of a 6 lb gallon of gasoline result in the emission of 19.62 lbs of CO2?



Also, gaseous emissions are measured by mass, not volume. That question would've been asking for pounds (or kg) of CO2, not gallons of CO2.
