A recent study warns that human respiration is contributing to global warming.
The study, conducted by British researchers, examined 328 breath samples obtained from 104 participants. The researchers discovered elevated levels of methane and nitrous oxide gases in these samples. These gases are considered to be more detrimental to the environment compared to carbon dioxide (CO2). Although humans also release CO2, it is typically absorbed by plant life, resulting in a minimal effect on the environment.
The researchers observed that females over the age of 30 were more likely to produce higher levels of methane through their breath compared to other participants. However, the exact reasons for this observation remain uncertain.
The study’s authors are uncertain about the underlying cause of these gases manifesting in the human body. They reject the notion that a vegetarian diet, as opposed to a more carnivorous one, would have a significant influence.
The researchers stated that there is limited understanding of the elements that influence human emissions of CH4 and N2O. Additionally, the effects of an aging population and changing diets are still not clearly determined. Switching from diets with high meat and protein content to vegetarian ones with higher fiber content in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from meat production may lead to increased gas generation in the human gut, potentially resulting in a phenomenon known as pollution swapping.
Upon examination, the researchers analyzed the eating habits of the subjects and discovered that there was no correlation between meat consumption and the quantities of methane and nitrous oxide emitted through breath.
However, the authors suggest that it is worthwhile for researchers to further investigate if “strict dietary regimens” could potentially mitigate the impact of emissions.
The study’s conclusion also advises against disregarding the significance of human breath on the environment as “insignificant,” and notes that this is worsened by human flatulence.
“[W]e would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible. We report only emissions in breath in this study, and flatus emissions are likely to increase these values significantly,” the researchers concluded.
Human breath is simply the most recent factor identified as contributing to “climate change.” Additional considerations to consider include the potential impact of the US military, which has been suggested by Soros-funded organizations should be reduced or eliminated entirely in order to protect the environment.
Private car ownership is another significant aspect contributing to climate change.
Based on a report released earlier this year by globalist and academic organizations, it has been suggested that all cars, even electric vehicles (EVs), have a negative impact on the environment. Due to the utilization of lithium batteries in EVs, the ongoing effort to transition vehicles into EVs, as advocated by world leaders such as Joe Biden, who has set a target of 50% EV adoption in the US national fleet by 2030, may result in a potential shortage of lithium. In such a scenario, the extraction of lithium will be necessary, resulting in potential environmental damage.
According to the paper, by 2050, the demand for lithium in the EV market is projected to quadruple, necessitating a substantial increase in mining activities.
Hence, given that the proposed “solution” to address “climate change” will actually contribute to further climate change, the authors propose a reduction in car ownership.
