How bad is human respiration for the environment?

Question

I am interested in the negative and positive effects of human respiration on the environment.

Answer 1

Human respiration is good for the environment.  CO2 is what plants need for photosynthesis.  However, I could see human respiration as a bad thing when the breathing is done by people who are destroying the environment.

Answer 2

Halitosis can be a killer.  Just get close to the wrong person and find out.

Answer 3

Its all a matter of how much air people exhale but it is way less than 10% of the total air used by human.made machines like power plants and cars. Even including the food we consume its still only about 10% as much as machines use.

Answer 4

There's not really any negative or positive aspects.

Ignoring for now the other forms of manmade carbon dioxide then the natural carbon cycle is more than adequate at dealing with all the CO2 emissions from respiration.  Each year humans contribute just under 2 billion tons of CO2 as a result of respiration, the natural carbon cycle can deal with up to 4 billion tons a year.

Answer 5

it is negative ,that means bad

we are getting far to many breathers on this planet

and should get rid of some

in 1998 Kissinger said at a closed bilderberg meeting that their Agenda demanded a decrease in the world population by 60%

the mind boggles at how this can be achieved

and many strange things are happening

many ¨natural ¨disasters,an posible impending nuclear war,

In the last 50 years world population has doubled a faster growth ever since we became homo sapian.

the effects on the environment are

,erosian,over pumping of carbon aquifiers(deep wells)

desertification,rising seas,land loss,deforrestation,watershort...

excess carbon emissions,mass extinction of species and global warming.

each year an extra 70 million people are washing and consuming water but this is ,but a small part of what agriculture uses.

the first thing we should do is go to town on education and birth control

most teenage pregnancies and families with many children is in very poor and uneducated regions .

here are some remedies to considder

population control in the past and present

War (past .present and future)

Natures way disease(today,past and future)

Manufactured disease(suspected today)

cures that kill(suspected today)

poisoned consumer goods (suspected today)

making children infertile or g*y,by raising the PH level in drinking water or even drinks (suspected today)

birth control,(in the past the Olmecs women ate yams to make them infertile,today we have several methods but most reach only the educated ,i handed out condoms to an native Mazatecca comunity in oaxaca ,and the church retrieved them all )

education on birth control(not enough,again the poor regions are excluded )

laws that limit childbirth per family(China)

human sacrifice(Mayas ,Aztecs,druids),may be the best option ,it would remove the strain on Natural resources and make more available for survivers ,stop expanding populations from deforresting preciuous woods because of settlement and expanding farming

,take the pressure of drink water supplies ,there would be less need for Wars ,we could use the blood and remains to compost fields that were destroyed by irresponsible agriculture

and at the end of the day if we did it in a dignified manner we could have lots of religious parties ,better then bombing societies across the world making everybody angry ,and the Gods would be over the Moon
