Not sure it actually demonstrates the extend of the issue. My favourite way to look at it (via ThunderF00t@youtube I believe):

  • dry ice is essentially frozen CO2 ( CO2 in solid form)
  • cca 40 billion tuns per year (cca 5t per person / year, 8 billion people)
  • 1km side cube of dry ice weights cca 1.5 billion tuns (1.560 kg/m3 says wiki)

=> Burj Khalifa has 830 m - imagine huge cube of dry ice 20% taller ( or 3x eifell tower)- all that CO2 boiling off in massive clouds - than add 25 of them - each year. We’ve been doing this at some scale for decades…

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
