The average American carbon footprint is 21.5 metric tons per year.
The average NYC carbon footprint is 32.5 metric tons per year
'Grasslands store approximately 34% of the global terrestrial stock of carbon while forests store approximately 39% and agro-ecosystems approximately 17 percent '
How many Grasslands, Forests and Agro-Ecosystems to you see in urban environments?

You don't see any, they have been completely destroyed and consumed by the city. Rural environments are Green in more than one meaning. Once carbon storage is considered. Rural areas have a negative carbon footprint. Therefore, Urban environments should be taxed more and perhaps even pay rural folks for storing carbon.

That's all very well Carlus but if you are going to claim credit for all the grasslands you are giving to have to account for all the livestock burps. Methane is carbon too.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Because urbanites do not eat most of that meat and dairy, right? LMFAO

It is truly amazing how much urbanites take food for granted. I saw this with my own eyes in Chicago.

As I said people are responsible for pollution, not cities. Passing off grassland or trees as a virtue of countryfolk is misleading at best.

You support the Climate Change Racketeering, but you have no understanding of what you are supporting.

If carbon storage is misleading, why is Carbon Storage the corner stone for offsetting carbon footprint by nations and corporations ?

Did I say that Carlus or are you twisting my words?
Would be a pretty misleading thing to suggest if you were.

Sooo... A million farting cows spread over 2000 miles of grassland is more of a carbon footprint than 6 million humans farting in a 20 mile city with little vegetation to soak up the carbon?
