I'm not. There are so many pollutants from coal, besides CO2.

    Indeed, but the original point was a pure measurement of CO2 per mile, disregarding all other pollutants and factors.

    Perhaps, but that is an awful way of comparing things. You simply cannot ignore all of the pollutants that accompany CO2 from exhaust.

    Classic example. If we're talking only CO2. Motorcycles are then more "environmentally friendly" than cars. But once you factor in all of the pollutants from their respective exhaust. Cars will be more "environmentally friendly". This is mostly due to the lack of catalyzer on motorcycles.
