Not to mention all the different energy-units! We're measuring emissions in CO2, but the energy that creates them in KwH/TwH, eV ... even calories! In meat-production, a cow needs to eat 6 calories to produce the meat-equivalent of 1 calorie for us to eat - but we measure the end-result in CO2 - phew!

Haha - we should measure everything calories...I mean I don’t have a chance as I live in the UK so we measure food in calories, temperature in Celsius, oven temperatures in “Gas Marks”, fuel usage in miles per gallon....you get the idea!
