fuel consumption and CO2
emissions will
remain unchanged at 8.3 L / 100 km and 194g / km respectively.
Both offer performance in line with Infiniti's image, but their high CO2

It ignores two real physical constraints on human CO2

While the above analysis yields good results for by tying past climate change to increases in human CO2
