Even with perfect combustion to 100% CO2 from every carbon atom in the entire fuel mass, there is no way the trip could emit 27.67 million tons of CO2. I looked up the largest oil tanker to take to the waters (Seawise Giant) and it has a deadweight tonnage of 564,763, a gross tonnage of 260,851 and when fully laden, it had a displacement of 657,019 tonnes. That means the entire ship, its fuel and its cargo all weigh less than 1 million tons. There is no way to get 27 million tons of CO2 out of a total mass that is 27 times less and not even entirely fuel mass. I think this whole thing is grossly inaccurate, inflated and just plain lying.
I agree we should do our own oil production at home, but this whole post is just bad math and data.
Yeah that part is wrong even if you using their own number of 23lb per 7lb of diesel. Don't know why they bother to inflate it shipping the stuff doesn't make sense even without the exaggeration. Only thing id add is maybe the fucked up ships use bunker c which is not diesel. Also co2 is good for the planet.
CO2, it's what plants crave.
As part of the combustion process air is brought in and combined with fuel. The mass of the combustion product is fuel + O2. That's how you get 22.4 lbs of CO2 from 8 lbs of fuel.
I had to check because I thought the same thing you did.
Even counting the mass of oxygen in the CO2 emitted, there is no way far less that 1 million tons of fuel is going to turn into 27 million tons of CO2. The numbers are still grossly inflated.
