Does the global population expansion have an impact on CO2 emissions because there anre more people breathing?
I really wish people wouldn’t just take wild **** guesses at the answers. The few correct answers get buried under tonnes of baseless rubbish. The simple fact is that animals breathing do not and can not have any effect on CO2 emissions. Carbon is CYCLED, remember? The carbon that humans breathe out comes from the food we eat. The food we eat gets that carbon by stripping it out of the atmosphere. In other words the carbon we breathe out has already been “paid for” by the plants that we grow. If we hadn’t eaten those plants something else would have, or they would simply have rotted and exactly the same amount of carbon would still have been released. It is impossible for animals breathing to have any impact whatsoever on carbon emissions. Anyone suggesting otherwise is actually defying the laws of physics. Matter can’t be created or destroyed by a chemical reaction, and respiration is a chemical reaction. We don’t create carbon to add to the atmosphere by breathing, we only replace th
