I didn’t bring it up. The meme posted by OP did because it’s a schizopost implying that the evil lizard people want to genocide the common people to preserve the climate.
Your comment was talking about the fact that humans exhale CO2 as an unfortunate fact. I agree with that in and of itself, but in the context of the post one could definitely get the idea that you’re propagating the malthusian and exaggerated assumption that the meme is built on.
If there’s no people exhaling CO2, then who would be left to enjoy the infinitessimally better state of the climate?

Unfortunately, we are quite the opposite. We are CO2 generators.

The CO2 we breathe out is a rounding error compared to the emissions from our fossil fuel use. It’s frankly laughable to even compare the two.

My super power is methane emission.

Emissions double on Taco Tuesday.

I never said we were good at it.

So, why do you do it then?

Well, technically, we sequester some CO2.
MxM111@kbin.social 3 years ago
Technically, we sequester zero CO2. We only consume already sequestered carbon. We do not convert even single molecule of CO2 in to carbon.
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 3 years ago
We sequester it for a brief time and are very bad at it.

Unless we have tiny amounts photosynthesizing algie or something similar living in our hair.
