If that's accurate, that's crazy.

Now imagine billions and billions of wood stoves, ahem, cars, running for 10 years straight.

F'n wood stoves, who knew they were the culprit.

I was confused too, I just thought it was a bold and interesting statement, like this is bad but this is more bad. I wonder what burning a big oil painting si the equivalent to?
