I've read that using a lawn mower for an hour creates as much CO2 as driving a modern vehicle from Oklahoma City to Dallas(a four hour drive).

I wouldn't be surprised if it were more than that

The lawnmower burns about 1/10 of a gallon of gasoline per hour. If the car burns 5 gallons on the trip it will produce 50 times as much CO2 as using the lawnmower for 1 hr.
