We all know that greenhouse gases are warming up the earth. But when people work out, they too convert fat into energy/heat, which is released into the atmosphere, which in turn warms up the atmosphere even more. DO they???

  1. Well, I have put on some pounds and would not be surprised if it is true. However, I have never heard any research in regards to your question.


  2. yes should it be taxed.

  3. Due to the laws of the conservation of energy any heat that you put into the atmosphere must be obtained from another source of energy which would lower the heat in the exact same amount when produced.

    The plants you eat have taken heat energy while growing and you now release it back.

  4. A very very tiny amount.

    What's difficult to grasp about global warming is how much heat it takes to warm up the Earth.

    The basic source of the heat is the sun, which is held close to the Earth by the greenhouse gases man is producing.  The amount of energy involved is enormous.

    But burning fossil fuels is the real problem.

    "I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

  5. no, our body heat turns cold in a few feet from us.

  6. Yea but its negligible.

  7. yes, and so do farts unless you only eat green food

  8. Two WORDS:

  9. Yeah.

  10. Our mere presence here contributes a negligible amount to warming the planet, even without exercise.

  11. I doubt it, because if it were possible wouldn't we have more floods and stuff, and hardly anymore snow would fall!  Plus too many people today are overweight, and they don't work out much.
