It might warm as much as 14 degrees so everybody pay $300 per ton. My question is, "Just how much electricity can you generate while producing one ton of carbon emissions?"
It seems like you'd get a ton of CO2 for every 1 to 2 ton of fuel.

If the fuel is coal, you get a ton of CO2 for every 12/44ths of a ton of coal, approximately, i.e close to 3.67 tons CO2 per ton coal.

The DEFRA "UK approved" figure for reporting CO2 emissions in 2006 was 0.43 kgCO2/kWh. That's based on the UK energy mix. Coal is more, gas is less, nuclear and renewables dilute the figure.

Arguing anything in this piece of BS is like arguing about the number of angels that can fit on the head of a needle. Entertaining but not really useful. Making conclusions based on evidence that is provably wrong and fraudulent is just stupid.
