The way I see it there are 6 billion, or so, living breathing human beings on this planet that are constantly producing CO2. I use my car for 20 minutes a day but I breathe all day. Don't you think I produce more CO2 than my car? Don't for get I have to eat which means I need to support myself with either raising other CO2 producers like cows, fish, chicken, etc., and also consuming CO2 users like plants.

Fact is, it's much easier to blame fossil fuels. I mean, you can blame human existence for pollution, but what are you going to do to stop it? Set a limit on how much we're allowed to breathe? Fossil fuels are something that can be helped. In time, we'll find a way to solve our problem with fossil fuels polluting the planet, but It's going to be a LONG time before scientists can find a way to change the way our breathing system works in order to stop us from producing CO2 every time we exhale. Unless you want to find a way. You've got a good point, really, it's just that there's not a whole lot we can do about the CO2 we exhale. Research it, maybe you'll find some sort of solution. :)

Your car emits CO2, that computer you have plugged in the wall is drawing energy from a power plant that emits CO2, that chair you are sitting on was delivered by a truck that emitted CO2. What I'm saying is when you total up every car and every power plant and every carrot on your table delivered to you, the amount of CO2 that is put into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels is far more than your body can produce. Thought the number of people on the planet have very little effect on how much CO2 is in the atmosphere, it's which people are emitting the CO2 that is the problem. It's the people that emit the most greenhouse gases per capita that have to do something about their habits but they are also the ones to resist it the most.
