Greenhouse calculator

[asterroc]

Made by the Aussies, it's a greenhouse gas calculator - it determines how much CO_2 you produce in a year (3 tonnes per year per person is the sustainable amount, 24 is the average Aussie), and therefore when you should kill yourself so you don't use more than your fair share.



I produce 15.0 tonnes of CO_2 per year (according to their calculator), and therefore I should die at age 15.4. At least I'm better than average! :-P

If you read the methodology, it's b/c they're also accounting for money expenditures. If you spend money on a taxi, they're figuring that you have less money to spend on even worse things, while if you save money by walking or biking that means you can spend the money or something horrible. That seems like a poor assumption to me, but everything's gotta start with some assumptions.
