Now scientists say BREATHING is bad for the environment: Gases we exhale contribute to 0.1% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions
Daily Mail ^

"Whether it's eating less meat or cycling instead of driving, humans can do many things to help prevent climate change.

Unfortunately, breathing less isn't one of them.

That might be a problem, as a new study claims the gases in air exhaled from human lungs is fueling global warming.

Methane and nitrous oxide in the air we exhale makes up to 0.1 per cent of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions, scientists say.

And that's not even accounting for the gas we release from burps and farts, or emissions that come from our skin without us noticing.

In other words, YOU are the global warming source they want to reduce.

Scientists are welcome to stop breathing and tell us how that works out for them.

Wasn't that the message on the former Georgia Guidestones?

>> cycling instead of driving

No, no! You have it backwards! I exhale FAR more CO2 when cycling!

Therefore I’m driving my DRW diesel truck for the planet! For the CHILDREN!

I feel so warm and fuzzy now.

The Guidestones they now call “road base”?

Well then I suggest those who are so concerned about this just stop breathing thereby contributing to the problem.

The RATs will propose a legislation mandating that we hold our breath for 60 seconds every 10 minutes.

I have said all along that population and the necessities of life dictate the co2 change...more people...more c02...like duh...

Food; vegetables & meat, shelter (trees) & clothing (cotton) etc etc...

Nothing to do with climate change...which is another one of God's natural phenomenon....like the sun rising and setting. etc etc

I would argue that a vegan diet of beans is worse for global climate change because methane is 28 times stronger as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

Suppose these people are successful, and humans are partially or entirely eradicated. Who is to say that the animal life that flourishes in our absence won’t be putting out the same amount of greenhouse gases?

That girl’s cute. Unfortunately, she might cause some heavy breathing...and that’s bad for the environment.

“Who is to say that the animal life that flourishes in our absence won’t be putting out the same amount of greenhouse gases?”

That’s not a worry, because only CO2 produced by humans can cause unnatural climate change. Except for humans from China, and from other Communist countries. Their emissions are completely benign and in harmony with nature. Because, Science. Don’t doubt it. Or else.
