I emitted 22 ounces just reading this, and I didn't even fart.

Check your sources. Why do people keep pandering to those zealots at Transportation Alternatives. Saying they're an authority on transportation is like saying Al Sharpton speaks for all black people.

The only CO2 I emit while commuting is what I breathe out my lungs while walking through Central Park.

"If New York City had the same commute pattern as Copenhagen, where 35% of commuters ride a bike, 9% walk or telecommute, 33% use transit and 23% drive, the City's annual carbon footprint would be 900 million pounds less." Ides you first!

If you think co2 is bad, lead by example - stop exhaling.

Stat from the site: "If just 10% of drivers and taxi users took the Subway one day a week, the City would emit 48 million fewer pounds of CO2."
