“Where hydrocarbon chains (food types) are consumed by humans and turned into CH4 [methane] … global warming potential is no longer neutral, and human respiration has a net warming effect on the atmosphere.” – Prada et al., 2023

According to a new study, humans “contribute to global warming” by exhaling greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide 16 times per minute.
“Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming. These emissions from humans are not well understood and are rarely quantified in global greenhouse gas inventories.”
Like bovine populations, humans are referred to as “methane producers” (MPs), respiring and burping this potent greenhouse gas simply by existing. (Concerns about methane’s global warming potential are so significant that New Zealand is imposing a “methane tax” on the nation’s cows, as these MP animals are heating up the planet with their burps.)
The MP determination for humans unfortunately includes some culturally controversial claims (that could be interpreted as racist or sexist). The authors of this study claim that Africans warm the Earth with their breath and burps more than other ethnic groups, and that women (38%) are more likely than men (25%) to be MPs too.
“It has been reported in previous studies that region of birth or ethnicity is a strong indicator of the likelihood to be an MP, with African populations much more likely to be MPs than Asian populations.”
“The results reported in this study are consistent with most previous studies that found a higher percentage of MPs in females (38%) when compared to males (25%).”
Humans also add CO2 – another greenhouse gas – to the air each time we exhale, and thus our breath’s CO2 emissions “contribute to global warming” too. An average of ~44,000 ppm CO2 exits our mouths as we breathe, eliciting a “net warming effect on the atmosphere.”
Perhaps, in due time, there will be a “breathing tax” policy initiative imposed on offending humans.
I’m doing my part…I only breath every second breath.
Just make them wear a ZELP…

Maybe we need to have volunteers to start a climate recovery plan. The pool of volunteers should begin these researchers and other climate change followers. We tape plastic bags over their heads, that should eliminate a considerable amount of global warming materials.
I just want to point out that if even human beings largely disappear they will be replaced by billions of large animals exhaling CO2 as well!
I wonder if there is a link between all those absurd publications about dogs, cats and now our own exhalations destroying the planet and the fact that the climate crusaders admitted that they failed to cause a degrowth (and therefore a depopulation) based on energy scarcity because on the one hand they will not stop the use of fossil fuel, and on the other hand, they admitted at the COP28 that it was necessary to massively relaunch civil nuclear power (which, they admitted is a low CO2 emission industry and clearly undermines their energy scarcity scheme).
It was then necessary to find something to blame on the human population on is very own since the energy seems to be is over and this is where all these charlatans’ articles and IPPC clowns’ public interventions seem to come at the right time to the rescue of the Maltusian climate swindle.
Remember :
– the IPCC has always affirmed that living things as such have nothing to do with any climate change, global warming or climate crisis because everything they emit is compensated by what they absorb and that the only culprit was the CO2 emitted from burning fossil fuel.
It seems the goal post is moving … again.
I think I just felt a tremor in the farce.
…..No, ….wait, …it was just the reheated chile from last week.
Seriously. Talk s out jumping the shark. Those people need to get a life.
They must put their money where their mouths are. And stop breathing right now.
And do us all a favour
Summaries of prior studies in past decades
Human beings do exhale almost three billion tons of carbon dioxide annually, but the carbon we exhale is the same carbon that was “inhaled” from the atmosphere by the plants we consume directly or indirectly from plant fed animals

The ignorance displayed by these so-called researchers is ridiculous on its face. This foolishness should have been rejected by any reviewers at a juried publication.
Don’t worry about all this, our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST is coming soon for the rapture!
They COULD just STOP with all the HOT AIR they are putting out !
