Strong diatribe against the excessive carbon footprint and hypocrisy of the 0.01%, but at least it expresses carbon footprints in tonnes (aka metric ton), and explains the unit.
Californians have paid a hefty price to reduce greenhouse the state’s per capita carbon footprint by 24 percent since 2001 when it was 14.1 tonnes per year. It’s now down to 10.7 tonnes annually last year according to the California Air Resources Board.
That is not a misspelling. Air pollutants are measured by the metric system. A tonne is 1,000 kilograms or the equivalent of 2,204.6 pounds. A ton, by the way, is equal to 2,000 pounds.
It is less clear what units are used in "two degrees."
For those wondering WTF is Manteca, it is somewhere in California. (I wish online sources in the US would indicate their state as well as city. Who knows where every modest sized city is.)
