Based on the pattern of, well, everything else, the most benefit would come if the billionaires stop breathing first.

So, on the face of it, we humans are a significant contributor to global warming. But, in reality, the CO2 we’re breathing out is part of a natural cycle, by which our bodies convert carbohydrates from CO2-absorbing plants into energy, plus water and CO2. As such, we’re not adding any extra CO2. In contrast, burning fossil fuels like coal releases CO2 which has been locked up for millions of years, producing a net contribution to global warming.

I guess you could've been less angry if you were able to read past the first paragraph

Ecofacism. Again.

The CO2 we breath out is recycled from carbon that is already on the Earth's surface. But much of the food we eat relies on fertilizer synthesized using fossil methane. That fossil methane is added to the atmosphere during production of synthetic fertilizer.

Only people relying on food from synthetic fertilizer contribute to global warming, but that includes almost everyone because food labels don't mention it.

Food producers do not tell us how much fossil emissions are required to make the food they sell us.

I mean sure, breathing isn't the problem, but all that breathing leads to humans continuing to burn things so that they can have easier lives.

Ultimately, breathing does lead to a polluted world. In a very technical sense.

To be fair, it is a number I would be curious about because I just want to know. So I looked up the article:

be mad; read headlines; parrot social media; here's another quote:

In contrast, burning fossil fuels like coal releases CO2 which has been locked up for millions of years, producing a net contribution to global warming.

The article is literally blaming capitalism

It’s really hard to listen to blue checked accounts posting on social media owned by a trillionaire.

No, no they have a point. I feel like if we stopped say roughly 3,428 people from breathing that the world would start to heal.

If we got rid of the rich that would mean less people breathing. The solution is obvious.

We're barely capitalist, it's all scheming and legal privileges and crime at this point. Even capitalism requires an adherence to a ruleset and the rulers we have do not like following any rules.

Nothing. Humans evolved with plants to complete the carbon cycle. Fossil fuels did not evolve, they are burned.

Near 0

Millenials and Gen Z are helping to combat this problem by having fewer kids. And yet, Billionaires complain about that, too. Lol.

If we get rid of human breathing we will eventually get rid of man-made climate change.

This is easy. Just stop breathing.

They're not desperate. Their system still works and trickle money up.

What they're doing is preparing you to make monthly payments for air breezing plans.

Near 100% I'd say.

It's not "capitalism", it's corporations with zero governnental or moral limits.

It's greed, manifest.

And that shit is called science focus... It hurts.

The are trying to make reducing carbon seem unrealistic

You know what, I think smoking Crack is a gold standard for, "the media." It's quite a crack addict thing to ponder, ya know? How much does human breathing contribute to climate change?

I don't think theres a socioeconomic system that allows 9 billion people to live a modern life on earth without climate change. I vote we renew the USAID program that shipped condoms to the middle east and we make college free for women everywhere, that should about fix it.

EDIT: And normalize meat only being an occasional meal instead of twice daily.

There was capitalism in the 17th century. How about blaming the massive consumption of 8 billion people?

To be fair to them, it's a reader's question, and the answer says that in reality, the CO2 we’re breathing out is part of a natural cycle, by which our bodies convert carbohydrates from CO2-absorbing plants into energy, plus water and CO2. As such, we’re not adding any extra CO2. In contrast, burning fossil fuels like coal releases CO2 which has been locked up for millions of years, producing a net contribution to global warming.

First thing I thought of:

they want us to stop breathing

Some people, by continuing to breath, have an outsized effect compared to others.

Clearly the issue here is just prioritizing who stops breathing.

Capitalism is holding back on more environmentaly friendly power generation for maximum profit.
