(10-12-2021, 03:08 PM)The Real Marty Wrote: "Using a gas-powered leaf blower for one hour reportedly causes the same amount of pollution to be emitted into the air as does a 2017 Toyota Camry driving from Los Angeles to Denver, which spans roughly 1,100 miles, the AP reported, citing state officials."

Ugh! This is just terrible journalism.  Really bad.
First of all, pollution is an ambiguous term.  Some people just mean CO2 when they say pollution.  Using a leaf blower for one hour produces less CO2 than using a Camry for one hour. Simple math; fuel consumed is always proportional to CO2 emitted. Obviously they are talking about other polluting chemicals, which are all bad for different reasons.  But which ones? NOx? Sulfates? Carbon Monoxide?
Second of all, are we talking about a four stroke leaf blower, or two? Because that makes a huge difference.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
