What's your 2019 New Year's resolution?

To make up for your cutting back I am going to try and double, maybe even triple annual carbon emissions in 2020.

scipioafricanus I wasn't using "faith". Just a basic understanding of mathematics and chemistry. Anyone who took a chemistry course in high school knows that the direct result of combustion is always carbon dioxide and water vapor. I use a 50cc during warm weather simply because public transportation isn't an option where I live. I was aware that mopeds aren't exactly the greenest way to get around, but considering that carbon monoxide isn't considered a significant greenhouse gas PLUS the fact that I live in a very rural, sparsely populated state, the effects of my moped's emissions are not felt on a local level.

Even if it is true that the greenhouse gas emissions of mopeds are comparable to cars & trucks, I still remain confident that they are greener overall, since they require less gasoline and oil, two fossil fuels that require a lot of energy to extract and also produce sulfur dioxide, mercury and other serious pollutants when extracted. On top of THAT, Armored Core correctly pointed out that 4-wheel cars and trucks require exponentially more energy and materials to craft verses smaller CC motorcycles and mopeds.

While I would always choose to take a bus or train over driving solo from place to place, mopeds are still greener than cars or trucks as a form of motorized transportation overall. And considering that the agriculture industry produces far more nitrous oxide than the transportation industry, that's YOUR fault, not mine, since I don't eat beef or dairy like you do. I suggest you stop touting the USA as being the leading expert in pollution control or sustainable lifestyles, because that nationalistic tripe you're spewing couldn't be more inaccurate.
