The incredible amount of oil burned unto today. (Dangerous experiments part two)

by F.G.Helmke
 

Can you kill the Earth "by burning an oil lamp?" Let’s calculate:

Total oil produced up to date: 100 billion tons

One ton is one billion milligrams

That’s one hundred billion billions of milligrams of oil produced

(100 000 000 000 000 000 000 mg)

The atmosphere of the Earth: 4 billion cubic kilometers (at sea level conditions)

One cubic kilometer is one billion cubic meters

So the atmosphere contains four billion billions of cubic meters of air

(4 000 000 000 000 000 000 m³)

100 billion billions of milligrams divided by 4 billion billions of cubic meters 
That’s  25 milligrams of oil burned per cubic meter of air in our atmosphere.

100 000 000 000 000 000 000 mg

:   4 000 000 000 000 000 000 m³

= 25 mg/m³

  Now let’s do the following experiment: Get a one cubic meter cardboard box. Put you head inside and seal it. Take a syringe with 25 mg or about 33 ml of crude oil, put it into an oil lamp and light it. If you survive, keep on driving your car! If not, be sure you go to heaven! When you arrive there you’d better have a good apology why you allowed this to happen your planet!
