If the carbon is in my body, it's not in the atmosphere where it would contribute to climate change. Checkmate, atheists
We are all made of carbon

So if I keep gaining weight, I’ll trap even more carbon in my body! It’s a flawless plan

Negative, you are 65% oxygen, so in effect hot air. 18.5% is carbon, 10% is hydrogen.
Or by molecules, you are mostly water.
And by those metrics, the average vehicle exhaust from a year of driving contains as much carbon and oxygen as 300 humans.

Ay carbón

Yes, you are the GOAT!

Yes. this is a truly shitty post.

You don’t know what carbon is do you?

Nice schizopost

What are you talking about? Who is them? Why would anybody care about that little bit of carbon in your body when every single human “consumes” much more every day?

About 17 tones of co2 is emitted per person per year in the US. That’s about 200x more carbon emitted than your whole body weight each year, not all of which is carbon. Plus that’s not even mentioning that your body weight doesn’t contribute to global warming.

So we’re sequestering carbon.
MxM111@kbin.social 1 year ago
Unfortunately, we are quite the opposite. We are CO2 generators.
Deme@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
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.
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, technically, we sequester some CO2.

Something vaguely related to this topic is the fact that countries with more laws designed to abate climate changing effects are also experiencing a slowdown in the rate with which they have children. Whereas many countries with relatively high birthrates generally do not have very strict climate standards. Overall levels of general education also play into this.

Correlation causation etc
EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Right. There are many factors at play that lead to these outcomes, and there are always outliers
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 year ago
Yeah and selling ice cream leads to shark attacks 🙄
Countries with a well-educated population care more about the future of the planet and well-educated people have fewer kids. There’s no “climate childlessness” like you seem to be implying.

Read my edit. I think I’m being misunderstood, and I don’t think I clearly communicated what I was trying to. Your second paragraph literally summarized what I was trying to convey, but I’m better at numbers and graphs than I am with words lol

Akhctually, when you burn something you oxidise it instead of reducing it.
deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Better than being oxidized, I guess.

I’m overweight, so I wouldn’t mind

FYI, this is a right-wing dog whistle popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s now an anti-vaxxer talking point.
