There should be a #ClimateTwitter #EnergyTwitter FAQ.

1. Where does the concept of "carbon footprint" come from?

2. Is it true that if we remove 2 GtCO₂ from the atmosphere, the ocean and land will outgas and equilibrate with the new atmosphere so that we will only achieve a reduction of 1 GtCO₂?
