FYI, this is a right-wing dog whistle popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s now an anti-vaxxer talking point.
If the carbon is in my body, it’s not in the atmosphere where it would contribute to climate change. Checkmate, atheists
So if I keep gaining weight, I’ll trap even more carbon in my body! It’s a flawless plan
You should get paid carbon credits!
Does McDonald’s accept carbon credits though?
Nuh uh! You can’t checkmate me if I
[Rage flips the board]
I am the cabrón you say?!?
Ay cabrón
Yes, you are the GOAT!
Negative, you are 65% oxygen, so in effect hot air. 18.5% is carbon, 10% is hydrogen.
Or by molecules, you are mostly water.
And by those metrics, the average vehicle exhaust from a year of driving contains as much carbon and oxygen as 300 humans.
Nice schizopost
Better than being oxidized, I guess.
I’m overweight, so I wouldn’t mind
What are you talking about? Who is them? Why would anybody care about that little bit of carbon in your body when every single human “consumes” much more every day?
Something vaguely related to this topic is the fact that countries with more laws designed to abate climate changing effects are also experiencing a slowdown in the rate with which they have children. Whereas many countries with relatively high birthrates generally do not have very strict climate standards. Overall levels of general education also play into this.
Tldr; Generally, the more people know about climate change, the less likely they are to have children.
Correlation not causation etc
Right. There are many factors at play that lead to these outcomes, and there are always outliers
Yeah and selling ice cream leads to shark attacks 🙄
Countries with a well-educated population care more about the future of the planet and well-educated people have fewer kids. There’s no “climate childlessness” like you seem to be implying.
You don’t know what carbon is do you?
Speaking as one of “them”, yes. Yes you are.
Akhctually, when you burn something you oxidise it instead of reducing it.
where is Jessica Hyde?
