Wait until he finds out how many calories gasoline has
You know you’re on the right side when you’re arguing against humans exercising more!
I read a carbrain article a while ago that tried to argue that cyclists create more CO2 than a car.
So to compare that they assumed that
- The cyclist eats exactly as much calories as required, so that extra exercise directly requires an increase of caloric intake. They did the same for the driver.
- The cyclist exclusively covers the added caloric intake via imported japanese Kobe beef steak cooked on a wood grill.
- The car was the lowest-consumption electic car they could find.
And with that setup the cyclist actually created more CO2.
The author seriously booked that as a win for the car, claiming that cycling is not always better for the environment than driving.
Wow that feels like an exercise in the absurd
