    Wouldn’t it be awesome if all we had to do to solve climate change, was just keep fucking with the data until the numbers showed whatever we wanted it to?

    Yep. That sure would fix everything, wouldn’t it?

    This is s very good case of using a comparison rather than metric units. I doubt there are many people in the world who can make sense of any number with the unit “kg CO2-equivalent”.
