Humans may be fueling global warming by breathing: new study

Humans may be fueling global warming by breathing, a new study suggests.

“Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming,” according to research released last week in the UK journal PLOS.

The methane and nitrous oxide exhaled by humans makes up about 0.1 of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, the write-up said.

The gasses are in addition to the carbon dioxide that humans exhale.

You knew this was coming... a study suggests???? WTF does that mean?

[bray]

If every cultist stopped breathing, problem solved.

I say we take off and nuke the planet from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

[IYAS9YAS]

I fully encourage all the glowbull warming true-believers to stop breathing to see how things pan out.

[READINABLUESTATE]

You are the carbon they want to reduce.

[EinNYC]

Gates is doing his best to starve, infect, and otherwise decrease the human population. He’s on it!

[Bon of Babble]

Guess which group will be deemed the worst offenders for breathing?

NY Post showing how clean they are they suck up any loony idea.

Another “grant swinger” finagled a little cash for yet another worthless “study” that proves nothing, and is mostly a rehash of old “studies” done in the past, all with inconclusive results.

Human breath is taken up by trees, grass, and vegetable gardens, all part of God’s plan. “Global warming” is another hoax, a fairy tale invented to frighten the masses.

I’m 100% supportive of making all progressives stop spewing those evil pollutants into the air. I think, in the interest of preserving the planet, that all leftists, marxists and communists should immediately stop exhaling all that CO2, methane, and other dirty products of their metabolism.

I’ve always suspected this. Masks are a good way to start the process of cutting down on breathing

[budj]

You wanna check my methane, baby? Here, pull my finger!

Here’s a few more things that puts CO2 into the air:

Volcanic eruptions
Wildfires

Decay of submerged aquatic vegetation
Termites and other insects producing methane
Emission from plant respiration
CO2 from algae blooms
Methane emissions from ruminant animals (e.g., cows)

Well, breathing is caused by being alive, and to be alive, one has to drink and eat.

So, the solution is obvious: stop humans from eating and drinking. Same for all other living things.

But, preferably, eliminate the nutty climate change advocates, and the whole problem is solved immediately.

[drwoof]

And the ‘solution’ to this newly discovered ‘problem’ would be what? Hmmm?

[Toespi]

Soon there will be a study explaining if every person on the planet would hold their breath for one minute every three hours, it would dramatically cut carbon emissions worldwide. There will be a set schedule, stop what you are doing and take a break from breathing. There will be breath police.

[Vigilanteman]

We know what it means. The megalomaniacs like Bill Gates and George Soros, who consider themselves the “smart people” want to reduce the population of the planet to a level they think they can manage. The only question is whether it should be 95% or only 70%.

[gibsonguy]

NY Post, there is no major media outlet calling out this BS.

“The methane and nitrous oxide exhaled by humans makes up about 0.1 of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, the write-up said.”
Doesn’t .1 equal 10% ? So not the CO2 that we exhale equals .1, but just the methane and nitrous oxide exhaled is 10% of the problem. What about farts? Aren’t they pure methane? Somebody better get to work on that!
