The cost of a tonne of CO2 is almost definitely less $100, and probably less than $25.. So the difference between New York City 7.9 and the US Overall Average of 23.6 is below $1500/year. That’s probably not enough to swing many people’s decisions, but it is significantly more than I expected. Using a more reasonable figure of $25/tonne, we get just under $400/year.
