I can hardly wait to calculate how much melted ice my ‘95 F150 snowplow pickup is responsible for — while plowing the freakin’ snow!!
I’m going to start a huge tire-fire tonight, to see if I can up my share.
I’ve been averaging 1000 miles/month just driving for work for at least the last 18 months.
Awfully convenient that I can now calculate my impact so I can guilt myself to the proper level. (/sarcasm)
How much sea ice does Al Gore melt when he flies his private jet to a gorbal warming conference?
/s
Looks like I need to hire me a private jet and some helicopters to help speed things up. Until then I guess I’ll just leave the HEMI idling in the driveway. ;-)
Dang! I drove a motorcycle to work today.
Tomorrow I’m going to pee my name in arctic ice and drive the Expedition.
Is this guy stupid or misquoted? Square meters is a two dimensional measurement. That means NO snow. The unit that means something would be cubic meters.
Every time Al Gore flies on his personal jet, another polar bear drowns. It’s a tragedy.

Not to mention all the hot air he puts out every time he opens his mouth. Enough to melt 50 square miles.
It’s only funny if you’re not stupid. Then it’s not funny at all, as the stupids willingly lead us into chains.
Lefties found out a long time ago their BS sells better if quantified. They can attach any number to their BS (it’s BS after all) and then tell us how many people are going to die if carbon isn’t capped, how much any particular activity “costs” society (because society owns you), and how many fluffy seal pups your car kills every year. It’s right next to parsing every new tax increase into the shortest time period possible, and expressing it in “lattes”. “Why, this new carbon tax only costs you a latte every twenty minutes”.
How about when I start up my fleet of D9 Caterpillars with bad rings and let them idle all day? Do I get a prize of some kind? What if I use them to bulldoze a rainforest? Any extra credit?
A couple years ago I calculated the amount of carbon sequestered by the trees on my property and determined I could increase my ‘carbon footprint’ more than 700 times its current value and still be ‘carbon neutral’. Shouldn’t the goobermint be paying property owners with forests for this valuable carbon sequestration service?
It’s OK I have about that much in frozen food and popsicles in my freezer. So it equals out.
Secondly, I make about 32 cubic feet of ice in my freezer for every 1000 miles or so that I drive, so my 'ice loss' footprint is zero :-). Mind you most of that ends up in scotch.
