Everything you eat was formed of carbon dioxide. Every time you breathe out, you return some of that carbon dioxide to the air.
I fail to see how that equation can be altered, even with government decrees.
Meanwhile, people who are fully indulging in climate hysteria will happily promote “solutions” that threaten the continuance of life on earth. They really make me nervous.
