scientists tell us we produce so many tonnes when we fly or drive a car?

Carbon dioxide is not weightless
In fact is has
12g in carbon, and in oxygen it has 12, but as there is 2 carbon atoms there is 16g in oxygen
So 12+16*2 = 44g.
How do i know this? Look at the periodic table.

Carbon dioxide is not weightless. Carbon dioxide is CO2. Carbon has an atomic mass of 12 and oxygen has an atomic mass of 16, so the molecular mass of CO2 is 12 + 2*16 = 44, and a mole of carbon dioxide weighs 44 g. A mole is 6.022 x 10^-23 particles, and is a commonly used quantity.

Carbon Dioxide it not weightless. If you had a box filled with nothing on a set of scales, then filled it with CO2, the scales would show the weight of CO2 you put in. All matter has 'weight' this is what we call the measurement of the Earths Gravity on the mass of an object.

Carbon-di-oxide is not weightless!
Its vapour density is 22 while air's is 14.4!-Thus,It is heavier than air!
Its molecular density is 44.

Ummm. It has no gravity forces pulling on it so it just goes up and up and destroys the protective atmosphere that blocks the harmful sun-rays which cause global warming.

And is it not Carbon MONoxide produced from cars and planes?
Haha bet you feel like a right dumbass now...

Gasses are not weightless (or, more correctly, massless). If they were, they would disperse into space and we wouldn't have an atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is not wieghtless. It is, in fact, heavier than air ;)

Its not weightless, who told you that. It has mass.

Because it does have weight. It's as simple as that. It's heavier than air, and you can even get it in dry form (called dry ice).
