because then the emissions would ONLY be from the plants that were JUST RECENTLY in the environment

So what you are saying is when a bio-derived fuel
is not going to produce harmfull byproducts when burned in a internal combustion engine?
What a very nice Utopian vision! (
hint, it doesn't work that way )
Wait a miniute.
This is what you posted previously.....

There is basically NO CO in the exhaust.

Now you are posting......

Yes, when measured directly at the tailpipe, there will be X amount of CO2 that is released per mile.

So which one are you wanting to make a point about, CO/carbon monoxide or CO2/carbon dioxide?
We already discussed CO.
As for CO2........
Global warming is caused by the SUN, not SUVs
More proof of the causes of climate change came earlier this month when the Geological Society of America's GSA Today published a study by a Canadian geologist and an Israeli astrophysicist which shows conclusively that over the past half-billion years, the interplay between solar activity and cosmic rays from deep space has caused the periodic warming and cooling of the planet, on a fairly predictable cycle of about 135 million years.
Carbon dioxide, the main culprit in the alleged greenhouse-gas warming, is not a "driver" of climate change at all. Indeed, in earlier research, Jan Veizer, of the University of Ottawa and one of the co-authors of the GSA Today article, established that rather than forcing climate change, CO2 levels actually lag behind climatic temperatures, suggesting that global warming may cause carbon dioxide, rather than the other way around.
So, how have the pushers of global warming theory gotten away with pretending the sun has no impact at all (or a negligible one), especially when such internationally renowned scientists as TechCentralStation's own Enviro-Sci Host, Sallie Baliunas and her colleague Willie Soon, have been convincingly demonstrating for years that solar brightening and other solar activity have a profound, if not the principal effect on climate?
The greenhouse chorus has been able to say that solar activity and carbon dioxide have both been increasing in lockstep with global temperatures, so there is no way to prove one is a "driver," and the other not.
Veizer and Shaviv's greatest contribution is their time scale. They have examined the relationship of cosmic rays, solar activity and CO2, and climate change going back through thousands of major and minor coolings and warmings. They found a strong -- very strong -- correlation between cosmic rays, solar activity and climate change, but almost none between carbon dioxide and global temperature increases.

So if you are worried about CO2 causing global warming all I can say is everyone has to have something to believe in! /images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
I'm not saying everyone should drive a big fat A$$ SUV. But the real problem we face is local pollution.
Global warming is real.
But we are not the driving force of it.
