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.

This is the reason why trolls shouldn't be allowed to play with calculators.

In my dream house its going to be in a tree so everytime that i breathe out the bad gases the tree will eat it so that maybe there wont be anymore climate change because of me.
Then we can all go and keep using snowmobiles and feed apples to polar bears and there wont be any bees to sting me because its too cold.

Plants don't produce large amounts of carbon dioxide.

...If you want to offset your breathing, err plant trees.
