The book was Logan’s Run, and the age was 21 (the film raised it to 30).
quote from your earlier post:
Quote:
six tonnes of CO2 per year (or 17kg per day) that the average person in the UK is responsible for.
difference between 2.5 billion (1950) and todays figure of 7.8 billion . . . lets go for a nice round 5 billion.

5 billion (people) multiplied by six tonnes gives us 30 billion tonnes.

I will however consider that the part 'average person in the UK is responsible for' may include all of the extras I added, so will stick at 30 billion tonnes we didn't 'produce' 60 years ago
