carbon skidmark 

1. The impact of carbon dioxide emissions, from an individual or a group, on air pollution and global warming.

2. A more accurate reflection of the impact of a carbon footprint. While a footprint leaves an impression, a skidmark leaves an indelible stain that is extremely undesirable and unpleasant.

Example #1: Jon got a brand new Escalade but that thing leaves a huge carbon skidmark.

Example #2: Some hippies were trying to convince me to give them money to offset my carbon skidmark so I told them to fuck off.

Carbon Skidmark 

A metric to measure the actions and in-actions of powerful organisations and big business on the Climate crisis.
Used to compare the climate actions and inactions of those with power vs the everyday actions of individuals to reduce their carbon footprints.
Includes systemic actions and inactions as well as policy.

We're worried about our carbon footprints. Are those with power doing enough about their carbon skidmarks?
