Looking at the recent Premier League teams travelling by air this summer to friendlies; their distances have been calculated (according to a BBC report) in CO2(kg). Is this as if you converted the C02 emissions produced to a solid ? Just curious. Tottenham appear to have won the league with 573,000 kg.
That seems an enormous amount of weight just dumped into the atmosphere - or maybe it isn’t in the scale of things.

I find it odd they measure a gas by weight and not volume. The pressure is pretty constant.
So anyway, what are they going to do, fine every football team for climate change? Ban football and save the planet!
If you believe in the climate crisis then banning professional sports of all kinds would be a start, as would banning all cultural events that lead to large, non-local, gathering of people.So anyway, what are they going to do, fine every football team for climate change?

Lest start enforcing conditions like that on people who shout loudest on climate issues spikeyhead said:
It's mass, not weight
So if 573,000 CO2kg is a measure of matter not weight - is that a lot of matter (in the atmosphere?) from a few long haul flights …….. and then scale it up across your average daily worldlwide air travel etc etc plus all your other CO2(kg) from other sources including man made and non- man made. How much ‘matter ‘ can the atmosphere take ? Apologies - I quit physics (school) at the earliest opportunity !
