1kg CO2 ultimately melts 650 kg of glacial ice. Wow. And communicating it in kilos opens a whole new can o' beans in terms of palpable imagination, too close to home for comfort.

Two examples:
1 cup of coffee = 400gr CO2 = 260 kg of glacial ice. *
1kg of pizza = 19kg of CO2 = 12.3 t of glacial ice. **
