Показать описание
Approximately 40 gigatonnes of ‪CO₂‬ is released into the atmosphere each year. What if you could collect all that gas and stuff it into a box?

This visualized what it what it would look like: a cube that measures 28.3 km (17.6 miles) in each direction that dominates the Boston skyline and the east coast of the US for hundreds of miles and that can be is easily visible from the International Space Station.

Visualization is easily calculated by:

* taking the volume of 1 gram of ‪CO₂‬ at standard temperate and pressure (about 0.00056659 cubic meters, which is about 1/2 liter)

* multiplying that by 1,000,000 (number of grams in a ton)

* multiplying that times a billion (number of tonnes in a gigatonne)

* multiplying that number by 40

* taking the cube root of that number gives you the length of the cube on each side
