Original Note:
Co2e emissions in the UK have dropped about 53 percent since 1990. Assuming linear progression and a Co2e-emission of around 800 million tons in 1990: 7,420 billion tons of Co2e saved. Assuming 1% of landfill burned (185k m^3), this emits ~ 0,0000016% of that. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/ghazipur-landfill-delhi-fire-toxic-smoke-b2532597.html https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-emissions-in-2023-fell-to-lowest-level-since-1879/
