Always these odd comparisons. Just give us the amount of CO2 emitted!
3.28bn tons (2.98 metric tons)
I bet you didn't know that a metric ton was 1.1 billion times bigger than whatever non-metric ton they're referring to.
Hahaha indeed. But seriously, within the accuracy of the researchers I do not even know why they use 3 significant digits. I highly doubt they can be better than 0.5 % accurate. I would expect a value rounded to the nearest 0.1 (2 significant digits).
