One of the ingredients of soda is carbon dioxide. As we know, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Does that mean that by opening up a can of soda, you are contributing to global warming? Obviously these are relatively small amounts, but if you drink a can of soda (or seltzer) everyday can it impact the environment?
For the sake of the question, disregard the fossil fuels it takes to ship the sodas and the metals it takes to make the soda can; I'm interested in the impact of the carbon dioxide itself.
