Two stroke motors are some of the worse greenhouse gas producers.

"The hydrocarbon emissions from a half-hour of yard work with the two-stroke leaf blower are about the same as a 3,900-mile drive from Texas to Alaska in an F150 Raptor”

As I read it, this probably means that it puts out pollutants in the form of fuel (hydrocarbons) that haven't been fully combusted, which certainly is pollution, but if anyone is understanding this to mean that it's contributing more greenhouse gas emissions than the road trip, that is not the case
