It’s not hard to estimate. The car is a sunk cost from 8 years ago.

I drive about 1000 miles a year. That’s about 250kg of co2 a year.

A new car uses something like 20 tonnes of co2 to make it.

So that’s 80 years of driving for me.

Obviously if I BUY a new car, it’ll be electric (but hopefully someone will have made a dumb electric car by then)
