Gotcha Neo. I thought I could suck you in because you take such a simplistic approach to things, using Newtonian thought process. That's why you are so dreading the doomster CO2 emissions by dedicated SUV drivers. Using relativity theory, one can use a LOT more energy to move a minuscule mouse-like mass a mile than the moon a light year. <I can expend a large amount of energy (work) to move a small mass a reasonable distance as well. You try and figure out why that is! > You were simplistically thinking of how much energy you would use by accelerating the minor mass a lot more than the locomotive load which you would gently push along slowly with your little finger. You were thinking force x distance = 0.5 mv2 True, but simplistic and incomplete. In a similar way, your thinking about CO2 emissions is true, but incomplete, so your predicted outcome is not what will happen. Newtonianists always make such mistakes, including in their financial dealings, because they ignore financial relativity theory. They think money is like momentum, miles, and mass = fixed quantities, with conservation of monetary mass, cash flow momentum and economic energy as being laws of nature. We can predict that your financial success is through hourly earnings rather than application of financial relativity theory. I can move a Mack Truckload of money a long way and use less financial energy than that required to move a Tonka Truckload of money a short way.
