The laws of physics disagree with you. In what reality does driving 124 miles necessitate the creation of 110 pounds of CO2?

This reality. A typical car produces 250grams of CO2 per kilometre.

I called it the suburb architecture, but you're right it is also the absurd architecture!
It may not have seemed that way in the 1950s, but it hasn't scaled well.
In a typical vehicle that's about 50kg of CO2. 100kg if it doesn't include the return leg.
Not having a dig at you, but this is a big part of our problem. We believe that because we can do something, we are entitled to do it. Not only that, but we've structured our society in such a way that it's actually necessary for people to do these harmful things just to get by like commuting distances that would have been considered absurd 100 years ago. They are still absurd.
