Burning a gallon of petroleum produces approximately 25 lb of carbon dioxide, and burning a ton of coal produces approximately 7000 lb of carbon dioxide.!

  1. If a barrel of petroleum contains 42 gal, if the world consumes 80 million barrels of petroleum per day and if the atmosphere weighs 14.7 psi of earth surface area, calculate the weight of carbon dioxide generated each year from burning petroleum and compare this amount with the weight of the atmosphere.!

  2. If a total of 16 million tons of coal are burned every day on the earth, calculate the weight of carbon dioxide generated each year from coal burning, and compare it with the weight of the atmosphere.
