Default Howe do you weigh CO2 gas?

I can only relate my theory to PROPANE gas.
One full tank of Propane that I use on my grill is 20 lb, in relation that would be 73 tanks of CO2 gas released into the atmosphere. If you burn 1 gallon of gas in 2.5 hrs that would be 52 gallons of gas/year = 436 lb (8.4lb per gallon). With my figures of simple math, gasoline is producing 338% more CO2 than the weight of gasoline.
No wonder the vegetation is growing like crazy.
Please give me guidance.
