I have an idea to help Global Warming!?

Question

All the people that believe that CO2 is a pollutant should hold their breath.

They would be stopping the production of CO2, wouldn't they?

What are some opinions?

Answer 1

Too much of everything is a pollutant. It's just a question about how much is too much. Currently our oceans are becoming acidic from all the CO2 they suck up. The oceans are thus helping to slow down global warming but the life in our oceans might be harmed.

The CO2 in our breath comes from the food (animals or vegetables) we eat. As long as new plants grows (that uses our CO2 for their photosynthesis) this is part of the natural carbon cycle and doesn't disturb the balance. It's when we burn huge amounts of fossil fuel that's been buried for thousands of years that we add CO2 which the natural cycle cannot handle.

Answer 2

"Like Oh My God!"  What a totally terrific idea!  Gee, you should run for the Democratic nod, Barbie.  

J/A!

Answer 3

Yes, after 10 minutes, 99% of human cause emistions would stop/

Answer 4

...?

Answer 5

I personally try to help Global Warming by ordering extra ice in my cocktails.  We should all try to do our part!

Answer 6

Sure it would. The other side would also be saying "come over 2" my place. Not everyone can hold their breath for two minutes, so u can also pass out and never see the light of day again.

Surely there has to be other means

Answer 7

i concur.

Answer 8

you'd think,

then they wont have jobs,or money..

their dumb

Answer 9

very blonde idea. go suggest it to Al. He might make another documentary about it

edit: lol hun, sarcasm doesn't really work well when chatting, people might actually think that you're serious. maybe have like a *sarcasm* thing at the end for people to realize that you're making a sarcastic remark

Answer 10

OK no fence but I dont think that the global worming is relay true...because if you relay think about it....the scientists are just looking for something to talk about,. but that's just me

Answer 11

EDUCATED PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLLUTANT AND GREENHOUSE GAS.

Just tired of American lacking of scientific education.

Even sarcasm, coming from Americans, isn´t funny.

Americans are something you either laugh or cry about.

(the sad news is that I might become one one day...).

Well, you have your passport and your attitude, I have my brain and diploma. Live well.

Answer 12

Yeah, and that would solve the population problem also.  

I think we should use all the corn syrup and sugar for ethanol gas which burns cleaner,  and stop selling soda pop because it makes people fat and it is unnecessary.  That would solve 2 problems at once also.

Answer 13

Ha.

Nice.

Answer 14

Wow. Einstein must be turning in his grave.

Answer 15

yes u are totally correct. now that i here it, thats a perfect idea!!! you are very smart, i would of never came up with that

Answer 16

Thats great! But one problem, CO2 isn't a pollutant. CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

Well anyways, they should. That would be 80% of the world. Amazing huh? Only about 700,000,000 people on earth will be left.

Answer 17

your right! lol

Answer 18

I'll try that.bbgtbgt

Answer 19

SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 20

Things can be earth friendly,

but they wont change a thing.

its scientifically proven.

just let me explain a little..

1. Who says that this is the right temperature for the earth?

maybe its higher, maybe its lower.

WE DONT KNOW THIS.

Maybe one organism will die,

but another may reproduce into a new organism.

God has a plan, and that plan is going to happen,

so why worry?

2. Ethanol does DAMAGE to the economy.

All it does is use up all the corn so that families may not be able to afford to eat it.

My family hasnt eaten corn in about 2 years.

Global warming is making us all CRAZY.

3. All scientists say the only 2% of 'Global Warming' is caused by humans and animals.

and half of that is just by us breathing in and out.

So if we would kill every single organism on the earth,

Global Warming STILL wouldnt be solved.

PEOPLE, WHY ARE WE WASTING OUR PRECIOUS TIME ON EARTH TRYING TO SOLVE THE UNSOLVABLE?

Answer 21

You just do that. And I'll work on things that will actually make a differance in the world.

Answer 22

I think their idea is for us to build a lot a lot of windmills, and then starve, because energy will be too expensive to support industry. I'm sure financially secure people ( like with a government job, or lawyers) will be able to continue importing what they need.

Answer 23

when pollution goes into the atmosphere so does carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide traps heat which is a cause of global warming. it is true that you exhale carbon dioxide, but it is false that trees and plants BREATHE it. they suck in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen which is why trees and plants play a critical role on earth. some people think co2 is bad for the enviornment but they dont know why. its not bad for the enviornment but it traps heat from the sun, making it hotter on earth-global warming. all the pollution is not helping. "stopping the production of co2" doesn't even make sense.just for the record, humans DO effect global warming.look it up.

Answer 24

Yeah, I suppose if every human being on Earth died of asphyxiation, that would solve the problem...

The problem is deforestation.  We have a symbiotic relationship with trees, they breathe in our CO2 and breathe out the oxygen we need.  Plant more trees.

Answer 25

If Tipper ever kicks the bucket I think Al will come looking for you.

Answer 26

Thats good then the rest of us can breath!!!!

Answer 27

yes of course. every one hold their breath...SO SIMPLE! i mean that black cloud that's coming from chinas factory; forget about it. i mean if i were to hold my breath and keep about uhm... maybe 2 grams of co2 emissions from going into the atmosphere compared to hundreds of pounds (kilograms you metric fools)  of co2 emissions in one hour is way better.

its inconvenient  (pun intended) that you openly critsize global warming and apparently know NOTHING OF IT.  water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and CFCs.  those are the top causes for green house gasses and duuuhmmm i dunna know that's said in the FIRST PARAGRAPH in wikepdia.  

if you really want to throw a stone make sure you have a strong, not meak, arm in which to throw with.

Answer 28

that 's dumb. people have to breathe (this is weird cuz i'm listening to No Air lol)

Answer 29

lol...you get a star

Answer 30

have you heard the expression 'the poison is in the dose'?

"All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison…." Paracelsus (1493-1541)

of course CO2 is a resource, but we have too FAR TOO MUCH of the stuff, in the wrong places;

i.e. in the atmosphere where it is causing warming, and in the sea, where it is making it acid..

we also have NOT ENOUGH PLANTS any more to absorb it all.

hope this helps.
