How do you go from this chart to California saying I'm no longer allowed to have gas powered lawn tools?

Because to get atmospheric CO2 to stop increasing you need to cut emissions by 80% or 90% from 1990 levels.

Meh, that seems awfully extreme. Getting Asians to put out their tire fires and planting some extra trees would probably do it.

You need to use more natural rubber, and less synthetic rubber polymers in the tyres. Then they can burn them to their heart's content.

Planting trees only works if the tree never dies, and never burns.

And even then it only sequesters carbon while it's growing. A mature forest is a ghg source, because it takes in CO2, but releases both CO2 and CH4. And CH4 is a lot more global earthing for the C than CO2.
