Carbon Footprint Calculator - Calculate Your Impact on Climate Change

My score is 75 for household of 4. I thought it would be higher - must be these cheapo hondas I drive

Seems like whoever designed that, think the US is the largest contributor.

Wouldn't let me take the test coz there are no options for different countries.

Can't be bothered as I'm too busy breathing! I just got to do my part for CO2!

Well I have to say upfront I believe the whole global warming issue to be total BS in the first place, but for those of you that do believe in that...
My house is way below the National average of 53 for a 2 person household we score a solid 35 and really don't do anything special other than what saves us $$$ personally....

I'm above the national average for two person households, mostly because I drive a large gas guzzling vehicle. I'd like to see anything smaller carry the amount of stuff that is required for my job, it can't happen, but there is no allowance for actually having to work for a living. I should also get bonus points because my work environment uses no heating or cooling at all.

I'm also trying to figure out how eating organically produced food reduces my carbon footprint because it requires more land to feed me when the food is grown organically. I also had to check but my garden technically isn't organic yet between my garden and fruit trees I get a lot of food.

I wonder if I should get credit because I preserve five acres of wetland in my back yard and have planted thousands of trees on my property. There wasn't a line for that.

23 for two people! we do what we can but are not too strict. Mostly to save money like sixgun...we're poor

It's not about belief. The facts are in, the evidence overwhelming and only ALL THE most reputable sources are giving out the straight goods. If you've formed an irrational 'belief' based on disinformation you should toss that out and start again. I respectfully submit some compact information from one of the greatest Environmental Scientists alive (or dead for that matter), Dr. David Suzuki. PLEASE (and I do mean 'pretty please') review the information enclosed in the following link. It will only take a few moments and I'm sure it will be educational to all. It was for me.

I looked at his website and I saw, "The facts are in! NO discussion! Let MY conscience be YOUR guide..." Those are the Tennessee Road Apples I referred to in my previous post.
I am willing to look at compelling arguments. I am willing to rethink my position, IF I am shown new and radically different information. So far all I have seen is algore's wallet and waist expanding and a few shrill catch phrases. I am unimpressed. How many tens of millions has he made off this gig? Hasn't his bank account grown by something like a hundred million dollars while he sings "The sky is falling..."
And if we've already passed the 'tipping point' and we can really do nothing but watch the show, then let's build a few more Oil Refineries and watch the show while we pay a buck fifty for gas.
I have seen NO proof. I have heard THEORIES out the wazoo. I hear inpassioned pleas by the score. No proof.
Sorry.
