We might as well all just lay down and pull our dirt blankets over us! Or, if we truly love our fellow man suffering from hunger, donate ourselves to the Soylent Green Foundation.
Horse squeeze!

Nitrogen credits right here!
Hey! Gotta get your nitrogen credits while they’re cheap!
You can’t fight global warming without them!
Why deal with those dirty carbon credits when you can have clean nitrogen?
I’ve got enough to go around... step right up and I’ll sell you as many as you want.

Diatomic elemental Nitrogen tends to be a pretty stable molecule. Not much reacts with it. However, if it reacts with organics under the right conditions, it does produce cyano- compounds, as in cyan-ide.
I find it hard to believe that those conditions exist outside a lab, and consequently, that this "warning" is anything more than "sky-is-falling" hysteria.

George Carlin had the perfect ridicule for these fanatics when he said, "Scientists have discovered that swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time, might cause cancer."

Actually, they need to pull their collective heads out of that dark place. Wipe off their faces. Take some deep breaths and give their brains some of that nitrogen mixed with oxygen.

Brave man that I am, I actually put the dihydrogen monoxide in good whiskey (a small amount of course) and drink the witches brew.

These people will not be happy unless 75% of the worlds population is dead. Until then, they will just be gloom and doom.Well there is one obvious way to end the gloom and doom. Simply eliminate the unhappy.

Wow. Even I didn’t know it could be so dangerous. Bookmarked for my chem class.
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
Contributes to soil erosion.
Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
