megaton

The Arctic fires have released around 50 megatons of carbon-di-oxide in June, which is the equivalent of Sweden's total annual emissions.

"Many megatons, perhaps in the ballpark of 10 megatons of TNT, so something not to be messed with."

Renewable fuels are an extremely important element in any country's strategy to reduce its carbon footprint and to adhere with the Clean Fuel Standard to reduce Canada's greenhouse gas emissions by 30 megatons by the year 2030.

"We found that about four megatons per year of mantle-derived C[O.sub.2] is released in the MagadiNatron basin, at the border between Kenya and Tanzania," Lee relates.

Although there is little risk it could hit the Earth, it is still considered as an NEO, or Near Earth Object, which would hit the planet with 1,450 megatons of TNT, the report said.

Nationally, the increased RNG content would result in 14 megatons (MT) of greenhouse gas emission reductions per year by 2030.

Transport emissions fell only slightly from 13.1 megatons of CO2 to 12.9 megatons over 24 years.

Reconnection is essentially a magnetic explosion, the rapid-fire splicing of magnetic field lines that releases in energy the equivalent of billions of megatons of TNT.

It is estimated that a collision with the asteroid would result in an explosive force equivalent to 15,000 megatons of TNT, which would trigger earthquakes and tsunamis and cause destruction on a global scale.

The data set of company-by-company emissions settled on 90 of the top producers that generated more than eight megatons of carbon dioxide each year, an amount roughly equal to the emissions produced by nearly 1.7 million motor vehicles.

The strike they imagined was brutal – 300 megatons falling on Britain in 16 hours.
