OK, we went out to eat at our favorite restaurant today, my oldest son and I had a conversation..
Since CO2 is supposed to cause Global Warming,
And since the carbonation in Pepsi, Coke, etc is a result of CO2...
We were wondering how long will it be before Soda Pop is blamed for Global Warming?
So I came home and googled it, and sure enough there is an article...
"Anyhow...now for the math:
300 million people x 56 gallons per person x 3.78 liters per gallon x 6 grams of CO2 per liter soda / 1000 g per kg / 978 kg per ton = 389,570 tons of CO2 emitted by soft drinks yearly in America alone."

So give up that Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Coke, Root Beer...
It's a sin I say... everytime you drink a soda, you are polluting God's creation!!
