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.

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

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

https://www.sciencefocus.com/...

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

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

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.

Near 0

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.

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

It's greed, manifest.

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

This is easy. Just stop breathing.

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

Near 100% I'd say.

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?

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

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.

While the premise from the headline is ridiculous, considering the contribution to CO2 emissions caused by human metabolism is not.

Humans don't have a good efficiency, compared to e.g. a electric motor.
Also, the "fuel" used by humans itself typically already comes with a gigantic CO2 burden.

That's also the reason that biking without electric assistance is not quite as carbon neutral as most people believe.

Putting it this way: The primarily meat-based overconsumption prevalent in many western countries offers many opportunities to significantly reduce CO2.
