Well you do add O2 to each C.

Since Oxygen is 16g/mole and Carbon is 12g/mole, Gasoline is about 92% Carbon. So the ratio is 12C/32O2

6.18 x 0.92 = 5.68lbs C5.68*32/12= 15.16lbs O2

It looks like that adds up pretty close to 20lbs CO2

The Oxygen comes from teh atmosphere

This isn't the official way to calculate, but it works. Check it your self.

Yes. But instead you are adding Carbon to the atmosphere. Not subtracting Oxygen.

When you sequester CO2, many processes do subtract O2 from the atmosphere.

They will effectively silence through decriminalization by capitalizing on ever so popular anti-intellectual sentiments.

If it gets too bad, intelligent people will be considered inept just for being intelligent. It ill be redefined as intelligence=$

This is a chemistry problem, physics is deeper. You just glazed over the process of combustion.

You assume facts will change their opinions.

Maybe they doctor shop for their facts

Well more of neutering anyone who can get in the way of him and his buds looting the place.

He's in the 30s for approval rating. That's a lot of buyer's remorse that could have been stopped if people woke up sooner.

Its not outside my experience.

I was banned from breitbart for saying this wasn't the coldest winter in decades and that trumpski's win translate to a huge power grab for the rich given all his promised tax cut hand outs and deregulations for the rich.

Given bannon is trumpski's propaganda minister, we should expect a new PC to come to reign. Global warming will become an offensive term to replace nigg--

They were forewarned by us Canadians. He's reading from the same playbook Harper used. One day a lot of irreplaceable data on marine temperatures was thrown into a giant bin "to be digitized" with no prior announcement, no timeline and no contact information. Funny, it seems to have slipped through the cracks now.
