I am not quite certain who is dumber.  The "atmospheric physicist" who said this or the Daily Mail for taking the time to publish that nonsense.  They act like we didn't already know people exhale CO2. 

Quote
The new study was led by Dr Nicholas Cowan, an atmospheric physicist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh.

'Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming,' Dr Cowan and colleagues say.

'We would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible.'

I predicted they would turn their attention to human breath

And it's 1/10 of 1% of greenhouse gases PANIC!
We've known this for how long? So what's your solution then? Make everyone wear some sort of contraption to trap the gases? Or mass genocide to save the planet?

I propose everyone worried about their breath destroying the planet should stop breathing for 12 hours every day to cut their breath emissions in half.
I need to hop on to my private jet and fly to Dubai and propose that. My Nobel prize awaits.

 Now scientists say BREATHING is bad for the environment: Gases we exhale contribute to 0.1% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12859057/Now-scientists-say-BREATHING-bad-environment-Gases-exhale-contribute-0-1-UKs-greenhouse-gas-emissions.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=social-twitter_mailonline

I was wondering how long it would take for the climate doomsters to get around to this.  Surprised it took so long.
Some of the more radical climate doomsters will eventually advocate mass genocide to "solve" the problem.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Wishing 87.5% of you would just die

Quote
Key Club of Rome member, Dennis Meadows, hopes the "necessary" depopulation of the planet, down to one billion—an 87.5% reduction from today’s population—can "occur in a civil way".

I say they should lead the way

Either that or go full dictatorship

Quote
    "The planet can support something like a billion people, maybe two billion, depending on how much liberty and how much material consumption you want to have." "If you want more liberty, and more consumption, you have to have fewer people. And conversely, you can have more people. I mean, we could even have eight or nine billion, probably if we have a very strong dictatorship." Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Dbo6uvJBtZg

And I'm sure with them in charge of course. Isn't that how that always works?

I saw John Kerry has been getting blasted by on-scene reporters asking him about his carbon footprint. He's more pissy about it this year than usual.  :rofl:

WHAAAAAT?

Between 15 and 20 TONS of CO2 for every ton of coffee? I want to see hard numbers on that claim.

If it were true, I would assume they are trying to count every step in coffee production from the farming all the way to your coffee cup.  Seems suspect as people aren't going to just drink water as an alternative.  They are going to go for some other drink that also has an imaginary CO2 cost.

Probably including the carbon output from manufacturing the tractor to manufacturing the coffee cup.

New Jersey plastic bag ban backfires:

"Following New Jersey’s ban of single-use bags, the shift from plastic film to alternative bags resulted in a nearly 3x increase in plastic consumption for bags."

Quote
You know who has benefited the most from the single-use bag ban? Retailers who sell those reusable bags that rarely get reused. They are making bank on the ban.

    Reusable bags have also resulted in windfall profits for retailers since the ban took effect, with the researchers finding the average retailer could make $200,000 annually at a single location.

BREAKING IN WASHINGTON: President Biden pauses all pending approvals of liquefied natural gas exports, says climate change is real and must be tackled, cites wildfires, historic hurricanes and floods wiping homes.

Quote
In a 5:59 a.m. EST statement today, Biden writes, “In every corner of the country and the world, people are suffering the devastating toll of climate change. Historic hurricanes and floods wiping out homes, businesses, and houses of worship. Wildfires destroying whole neighborhoods and forcing families to leave their communities behind. Record temperatures affecting the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans, especially the most vulnerable.

Quote
“My Administration is announcing today a temporary pause on pending decisions of Liquefied Natural Gas exports – with the exception of unanticipated and immediate national security emergencies. During this period, we will take a hard look at the impacts of LNG exports on energy costs, America’s energy security, and our environment. This pause on new LNG approvals sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time.
 
“While MAGA Republicans willfully deny the urgency of the climate crisis, condemning the American people to a dangerous future, my Administration will not be complacent. We will not cede to special interests.

Wait, wasn't one of the things we were doing was exporting LNG to Germany so they wouldn't buy from Russia? Did we blow up the pipeline for nothing now?

In a joint announcement Friday morning, the White House and Department of Energy (DOE) said the pause would occur while federal officials conduct a rigorous environmental review assessing the projects' carbon emissions, which could take more than a year to complete. Climate activists have loudly taken aim at LNG export projects in recent weeks, arguing they will lead to a large uptick in emissions and worsen global warming.

Just a few years ago we were switching coal plants to NG because NG was clean burning. WTF happened in the meantime? These people aren't going to stop until we're back to living in caves and they better not catch you burning wood in one or wearing animal pelts to stay warm.

I don't know how much stock to put into this

Quote
Before deciding to delay approval of the Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2), key climate advisers and decision-makers in the White House reportedly met with Alex Haraus, a 25-year-old TikTok influencer from Colorado who has organized an online campaign demanding that the administration kill the project, according to the NYT. The White House is expected to formally announce on Friday that it is delaying its review of CP2, a development which could be the administration’s first step toward killing the project and putting numerous other LNG terminal proposals in jeopardy as well.

Climate activists “absolutely will reward or punish him on this decision,” Haraus told the NYT, referencing President Joe Biden and the upcoming presidential election. (RELATED: Biden Admin Got Handful Of Undergrads To Write Its Report On Chinese Communist Threat)

The LNG terminals on the Gulf Coast are going to love that.  I guess the natural gas price didn't get high enough this Winter.
