How did you get those numbers? Based on the article and my searching around

Llama 3.1: ~0.7 to 1.5 grams of CO2

Rolling coal event: ~10,000 to 100,000+ grams of CO2

You think rolling coal releases 10 - 100 kg (20 - 200 lb) of CO2 into the atmosphere?

You would need hundreds of lb of gasoline for that!

That'd actually only be about 1-10 gallons, or about 6-60 pounds. Regardless, I'd guess it's probably only <500g CO2.

> Are we the problem?

Yes.

Who is "we"? I had to look up this moronic activity because I'm not American.

I refuse to believe that anyone with a functioning brain would choose to engage in it. Are you saying you do?
