Humans may be fueling global warming by breathing: new study

Humans are just a part of the mammals and other 'animals' that require the CO2 + Oxygen cycle... putting *it* on us humans alone would be incorrect... In other words, we're too insignificant, even though there are over 7 billion of us. Other mammals may add up to more (at least what I think, even if it's those different species of animals all combined).

The amount of CO2 we emit is quite insignificant though

My thoughts when I saw this article was:

1. It's a Babylon Bee article which is probably more credible than the news at this point.

2. It's an April 1st article released too soon.

The atmosphere used to have hundreds if not thousands of times the CO2 as today. That was before all the coal, oil, and gas, and literal mountains of calcium carbonate was sequestered. And what term would best describe the climate back then? Lush! I've been through imminent nuclear death, global cooling, Y2K, and now global warming. I've survived repeated manufactured fear. The most efficient extraction won't free more than a small percentage of sequestered CO2. In a few hundred years the markets will find alternatives or we will freeze in the dark. In the meantime marginally higher CO2 will be sequestered in new plant growth. The world is already greening from the minuscule rise of CO2.

Rage bait…

Rage bait…

And a goldmine for social media memes, videos, etc., to make fun of this.

Put the New York headline in the video with the sound of Jordin Sparks' "No Air," and there's a million views.

It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air

You know what else was really high when CO2 was high? The temperature.

It seems pretty tedious to dwell on so I wonder why they did this study?

Not gunna lie, I love the spicy, off-topic side of the forums. It's entertaining!
