That’s one of my pet peeves, when people use relative comparisons to overstate things that have very small absolute differences.
55g of CO2 is basically nothing. A gallon of gasoline represents about 2400g of CO2 emissions when burned. So for a typical vehicle that gets 30 miles per gallon, 55g of CO2 is basically the equivalent of driving 0.6875 miles (1.1km).
It’s less than the carbon footprint of a cup of coffee (60g).
Or, alternatively, eating a single quarter pound hamburger would be about 3 kg of CO2, or 55 hours of video viewing at this rate.
