17,209,710,555 kg -- estimated carbon dioxide output of all chickens worldwide
77,100,000,000 kg -- estimated carbon dioxide output of all pigs worldwide
150,000,000,000 kg -- estimated carbon dioxide output of all cattle worldwide
(All of these sources of CO2 are releasing recently sequestered CO2. There is no net addition of CO2 to the environment. Last year's crop's absorbed it, this year's cattle release it.)
coal: 8,120,000,000 tons per year (60 - 80 percent carbon)
natural gas(methane): 2,894,800,000 billion cubic metres (75 percent carbon)
oil: 21,514,883,755 barrels per year (80 - 85 percent carbon)
15,366,182,440,000 kg -- estimated carbon dioxide output of coal
_9,291,632,847,000 kg -- estimated carbon dioxide output of oil
_6,368,560,000,000 kg -- estimated carbon dioxide output of natural gas
31,026,375,290,000 kg -- estimated carbon dioxide output of fossil fuels
(This is all carbon that was sequestered in the ground for hundreds of millions of years. This is the primary source of modern atmospheric carbon woes. The other issue is deforestation and urbanization by land developers.)
___244,309,710,555 kg -- estimated CO2 output of (pigs, cattle, chickens)
31,026,375,290,000 kg -- estimated CO2 output of (coal, oil, natural gas)
126 times more carbon from fossil fuels, all pulled up out of the ground. Stop pulling it out of the ground. Problem mostly solved. (What to do about all of the carbon we added?) The carbon tax is a scam to avoid paying the price of the damage they've done to the planet for profit.
