    To be fair to them, it’s a reader’s question, and the answer says that in reality, the CO2 we’re breathing out is part of a natural cycle, by which our bodies convert carbohydrates from CO2-absorbing plants into energy, plus water and CO2. As such, we’re not adding any extra CO2. 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.

      Soooo… it still sounds to me like you’re saying that breath from people who burn more fossil fuels has an outsized impact?

      I feel like this just proves my point around needing to prioritize who stops.

    This is grim. Seriously. This article only contributes to thiel’s and altman’s transhumanism ideology.

    Just to point out, Sam Altman invested heavily to a technology to be developed that his brain would be digitalised and set to live forever before he dies. It’s just sad that people enable this shit happening for money.

      the one thing that kept coming to mind as i reviewed the epstein files was how much money it took to buy island and several gov’ts at the same time and for decades.

      what kind of world would be living in if all that wealth wasn’t spend on enabling baby factories to send to child-fuck-island so that the rich and powerful can engage in depravities that most of us are too scared to imagine.

    Some people, by continuing to breath, have an outsized effect compared to others.

    Clearly the issue here is just prioritizing who stops breathing.

      Exactly this. Clearest example of ecofascism I’ve ever seen.
