I was curious as to how much carbon dioxide is directly emitted from humans each year.
According to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide#Human_physiology) the average human exhales 990g of carbon dioxide per day.
Multiplied by 6 billion it is 5.94 million tonnes.
Each year that is 2.17 billion tonnes.
It makes me angry knowing there are people out there believing they are innocent in breathing. By not breathing they could stop global warming.
