The folks at Deutsche Bank unveiled a new real-time “Carbon Counter” in downtown Manhattan today, making sure that pedestrians walking around Penn Station now know exactly how screwed the earth’s atmosphere is to the exact metric ton during every second of their lives (FINALLY!)
I don’t have any frame of reference to know if 3.6 trillion metric tons of greenhouse gas is a lot, but it sure sounds like a lot. 3.6 trillion grains of rice is a lot. It’s almost kind of impressive.
Still, there’s no better way to fix this whole environmental deelie than to constantly bum out train travelers, Knicks and Ranger fans, and lost tourists desperately looking for a place to eat that isn’t disgusting. Hopefully they won’t need to add an extra digit anytime soon.
