Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

They say carbon, rather than CO2,because it allows them to make the numbers look smaller, just like when they quote the sodium content of food instead of the salt content. What you mention there is only one allotrope of carbon, graphite being dark grey and shiny and diamonds being clear and sparkly. Also a lot of diesel engines do pump out a lot of unburt carbon in the form of soot.
/pedantry.

YupThanks - I know of the allotropes. I just didn't think it was worth mentioning that power stations and the like are not ejecting diamonds as waste products :)
