{Disarmed} Inauguration Will Produce 575 MILLION Pounds of CO2!, see Chilling Effect Special Report

IFL: Inauguration Will Produce 575 MILLION Pounds of CO2!

Everyone knows the new administration will be the greenest in modern times. But you might not know how un-green the Inauguration is going to be. The Institute For Liberty scratched together some rough figures for illustrative purposes, and our new analysis Carbon Bigfoot finds:

* Celebrities, politicians, and bigwigs using 600 private jets will produce 25,320,000 POUNDS of CO2

* Personal vehicles could account for 262,483,200 POUNDS of CO2

* In the parade, horses alone will produce more than 400 POUNDS of CO2

* The total carbon footprint for the Inauguration will likely exceed 575 million POUNDS of CO2

* It would take the average U.S. household 57,598 years to produce a carbon footprint equal to that of the new president’s housewarming party

The IFL is quick to note that it’s not criticizing the travel or commerce involved - those can be good things that keep America moving and prosperous. But some people want to tax and regulate carbon emissions, and they happen to be the same people pumping out carbon dioxide like it’s going out of style. Check out the report and pass it on to your friends!
