What's your carbon footprint?

Like everything about the whole silly man made global warming due to co2 thing...

The test is simplistic and flawed and leaves out every bit of data that means anything.

There is no way to answer a lot of the questions.. the choices do not exist.

This reminds me of that old Tim Allen bit about cylinder count. The higher the cylinder count in your garage, the more manly its supposed to be. I have 21 total cylinders in the driveway/garage.
I'm too wack for a sig. (Camaro, not just a car, it's a lifestyle.)

11.5 .. I am such a slacker -hangs head in shame-

I know .. I'll buy a used Hummer that burns a quart of oil every 500 miles
and if its tuned rich perhaps I can get down to 3mpg!
Just think of all the Toyota's and Honda's that wont have gas available because *I* used it all UP!

It'll smoke out the mosquito's too :)

7.4, right at the national average.  

But I wonder about the technique of asking how much money is spent on electricity and gas.  Prices vary all over the country.  Better measure would be units consumed.  But that would make the game too exasperating to play.

136.9 I have to make up for all the slackers out there, only using 7.5. I own property just 400 yards off the beach, and I figure by the time I get to retirement, it could be beach front if we melt down some of those polar ice caps.

Actually, I don't have a clue.

Ahhhh... cylinders...  I can relate to that.   I have 26 cylinders in the garage not counting landscaping crap.

The internet has proved this wrong.
