Default Take the Planet Slayer carbon test !

I came across this fun test:
http://www.abc.net.au/science/planet...house_calc.htm

I ranked 80.7 tonnes CO2 and should die under 3 years old to "Save the planet".
Prof. Schpinee says the test is accurate.
Hmmph.

Efficient drivers do it better.
1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT

I get 4.6 years! They are hard on us US folks - if this is accurate then the world should be gone by now and I drive green, live in a townhome, have low utility bills and eat organically and wisely ... the number really skews on money spent per year.

8.3 Tonnes CO2 and I should die in the next few weeks.

It's a neat idea, and low score is always good, regardless of nation, but I have a feeling that the Australian Energy Hog is many times less what an American Energy Hog is.

Oh, and it looks like -12.9 is the lowest you can go.

What a crock. It said I should die at age 13.7. The ironic thing is that the original intelligence that occupied this body DID die at age 12, ha ha/
